Abstract: A ball valve configured for reduced-time assembly for use with hoses and watering devices typically connected to city water supplies. In particular, the valve is configured to improve the ease of assembly by providing a one-piece snap in handle, ball and retention arrangement which interacts with a seal supported in the valve body to retain the position of the seal during insertion of the one-piece element during valve assembly.

Abstract: A drip irrigation system is disclosed for delivering an irrigation fluid from an irrigation fluid supply source to one or more plants and includes at least one pressure regulation device in fluid communication with the irrigation fluid supply source, at least one fluid delivery device coupled in fluid communication to the pressure regulation device, and a weighted emitter coupled in fluid communication to the fluid delivery device. A kit for a drip irrigation system is also disclosed and includes at least one pressure regulation device adapted to be coupled to an irrigation fluid supply source, at least one elongated member having an internal passage adapted to couple to the pressure regulation device, at least one weighted emitter having an internal passage adapted to couple to the elongated member, and a package for the kit.
