Abstract
An irrigation sprinkler has a generally tubular riser assembly including a nozzle turret rotatably mounted at an upper end of the riser assembly and a drive assembly coupled for rotating the nozzle turret. The riser assembly has at least one locking recess formed in a lower end of the riser assembly. A debris screen is removably mounted to a lower end of the riser assembly. The debris screen is formed with a plurality of apertures for filtering debris from water flowing through the apertures. The debris screen is dimensioned and configured to mate with the lower end of the riser assembly. The debris screen has at least one lock that is dimensioned and configured to be received in the locking recess for holding the debris screen to the riser assembly. In an alternate embodiment, the lock can be located on the lower end of the riser assembly and the recess can be located on the screen.
