Abstract

A showerhead is provided having a housing, a perforate partition and a nozzle body. The housing has a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. The perforate partition is provided in the housing between the inlet and the outlet and has at least one peripheral fluid passage communicating with the fluid inlet. Each peripheral fluid passage communicates at a downstream end with an inwardly extending peripheral slot, and each slot communicates at a downstream end with a mixing cavity. The nozzle body is carried by the housing downstream of the mixing cavity and has a compression port at an upstream end and an outlet port at a downstream end in fluid communication with the compression port.
