A sprinkler fitting for irrigation provides a simplified structure and manufacturing process. The sprinkler fitting comprises a spout and a deflector moveably connected to one another. The spout is formed with a threaded proximal end with a water inlet for connection to a water supply, a nozzle at a distal end in fluid communication with the water inlet at the proximal end and a circumferential groove between the proximal and distal ends of the spout. The deflector is moulded to include: an annular member to be retained in the groove of the spout； a generally cone shaped spray deflector connected to the annular member； an apex of the spray deflector directed generally towards the nozzle； and spray grooves extending from the apex towards an outer extremity of the deflector. The deflector is formed from a resilient material in a single piece. The sprinkler fitting may be manufactured by: forming a spout； moulding a deflector in a resilient plastics material； and pressing the deflector onto the spout for easier assembly.
