Abstract
A chemical dispenserthat is attached directly to a sprinkler system which includes a reservoirwith an open top spout, a cap, a water inlet opening, a solution outlet openingand a basketpositioned between the spout and the cap. A saddle clamp memberis integrally formed with the reservoir attached to a mains utility water line. A reservoir water inlet lineinterfaces with the mains utility water lineon one end the water inlet opening of the reservoir on the other end. A solution discharge line, having an outlet nozzle, extends into the mains water inlet line and is connected through the clamp and to the reservoir. Water enters the reservoir through water inlet line and leaches a solid chemical placed within the basket to form an aqueous solution. The solution is then drawn through the discharge line by the pressure differential in the mains utility water line flow created by the restriction of the nozzle in the mains utility water line. A metering/shut-off valveis connected within the solution discharge line to control fluid volume and for closure.
