The dash-dash broken lines in the figures are for the purpose of depicting portions of the ergonomic irrigation fitting that form no part of the claimed design. The dot-dash broken lines define the bounds of the claimed design, the boundaries defined by the dot-dash broken lines forming no part of the claimed design. Only a single view is provided in connection with the second, third, and fourth embodiments of the ergonomic irrigation fitting because the claimed design is identical in each, and the views needed to illustrate the claimed design are presented in connection with the first embodiment.
