A quick connect and disconnect coupling which does not allow free rotation of the ends of the coupling with respect to one another includes a male connector having a coupling end and a female connector having a coupling end with a receiving opening therein to receive the coupling end of the male connector when the connectors are in coupled condition. A holding mechanism is associated with the connectors to hold them together in coupled condition and allow easy disconnection when desired. Interengaging cooperable surfaces are provided on the male and female connectors, such as tabs extending from the female connector to engage a flat or other tab mating surface on the male connector to substantially prevent relative rotation of the male connector in relation to the female connector. The coupling is particularly useful for attaching sprinkler heads to sprinkler head holding bases in sprinkler systems to allow easy replacement of the sprinkler heads.

A watering wand allows for telescopic adjustment of its length. The wand includes a primary tube defining a hollow interior portion and a secondary tube slidably disposed within the primary tube. The primary tube includes a fitting for attaching the wand to a water source. The secondary tube includes a connector suitable for receiving a fluid dispensing nozzle. The secondary tube also defines a portion to allow fluid to pass between the water source and the connector. An adjustment collar attached to a distal end of the primary tube slidably engages the secondary and may be used to fix the position of the secondary tube relative to the primary tube. The connector may be attached to a ball and joint coupling to allow for a pivoting nozzle and a quick-connect coupling to allow for easily changing nozzles to meet various watering needs.

A multi-directional spray nozzle is disclosed. The multi-directional spray nozzle may include a grip member and a pivotal member. A rounded end of the pivotal member pivotally engages a socket of the grip member in either a ball-and-socket configuration or a hinged joint configuration. An internal passage of the grip member is in fluid communication with a pivotal passage situated within the rounded end of the pivotal member. The pivotal passage is in fluid communication with an exit port on the pivotal member. A pressurized fluid may be emitted from an exit port on the pivotal member. The pivotal member may be positioned at various angles with respect to the grip member to direct the emitted fluid to a desired location.
