A sprinkler and root feeder valve assembly useful for directing the flow of liquid in one of two directions for use as either a sprinkler or a root feeder for plant maintenance is disclosed. The valve assembly includes a one-piece valve housing body having a central hub and two diametrically opposite arm members for receiving and transporting liquid. The central hub is adapted for receiving a valve drum which is rotatable into several positions and adapted for controlling the volume and directing the flow of liquids through the assembly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The invention provides a valve assembly useful for directing the flow of liquid in one of two directions.
The valve assembly includes a one-piece valve housing having a central hub adapted for receiving a valve drum.
Positioned on either side of the central hub are a pair of diametrically opposite, hollow arm members projecting radially outward, the first arm member adapted for receiving a liquid, and the second arm member having a chamber for containment and dissolution of chemicals and nutrients.
An upwardly positioned top outlet port and an opposed downwardly positioned bottom outlet port are also located around the central hub.
The valve drum is rotatable between at least two positions for directing the flow of liquid from the first and second arm members through either the top outlet port or the bottom outlet port.
Other advantages and aspects of the present invention will become apparent upon reading the following description of the drawings and the detailed description of the invention.
