Dramm Plastic Commercial Fan Nozzle - Medium Flow - Rectangular Pattern

Rectangular Fan Pattern Covers Flats and Plug Trays in One Pass

The Dramm Plastic Commercial Fan Nozzle delivers medium-flow watering in a rectangular spray pattern designed for efficient, even coverage of flats and plug trays. The fan-shaped output covers a wide area with each pass, reducing watering time for high-density seedling and propagation operations in greenhouse and nursery settings.

The nozzle attaches to standard 3/4in hose thread fittings and to any Dramm Handi-Reach handle, and is compatible with water and diluted liquid fertilizer solutions for routine fertigation.

Key Features & Benefits

• Rectangular fan pattern: Optimized spray geometry provides even coverage across flat trays and plug cells without excessive overspray at the edges.
• Medium flow rate: Balanced output is gentle enough for seedlings and plugs while delivering sufficient volume for efficient tray watering.
• Plastic construction: Lightweight and corrosion-resistant for long-term use in humid greenhouse environments.
• Commercial-grade design: Built for the repetitive, high-volume demands of professional greenhouse and nursery operations.
• Compatible with Dramm handles: Attaches directly to Dramm Handi-Reach handles and standard 3/4in hose fittings.

Who Should Use This

Greenhouse growers, propagators, and nursery workers who regularly water large numbers of flats, plug trays, and seedling cells are the direct fit for this nozzle, since the rectangular fan pattern covers entire tray widths efficiently and reduces hand fatigue during daily watering routines.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a fan nozzle differ from a water breaker?

A fan nozzle produces a flat, fan-shaped spray pattern ideal for covering the width of a flat tray or propagation bench in a single pass, while a water breaker breaks water pressure into many gentle streams for softer, more localized watering. Fan nozzles are generally faster for covering large numbers of trays, while water breakers provide a gentler, more targeted application.

Is this nozzle gentle enough for seedlings?

Yes. The medium flow rate and fan spray pattern distribute water gently across the tray surface without creating high-impact streams that could dislodge germinating seeds or disturb delicate seedlings in plug cells.

What handle does this nozzle attach to?

The Dramm Commercial Fan Nozzle uses standard 3/4in hose thread and attaches directly to Dramm Handi-Reach handles of any length, as well as standard garden hose fittings and hose-end trigger valves. No adapters are needed when switching it onto equipment already built around 3/4in thread.

Can I use this nozzle with fertilizer solutions?

Yes. The plastic construction is compatible with diluted liquid fertilizer solutions commonly used for fertigation in greenhouse operations. Rinse the nozzle with clean water after use with fertilizer solutions to prevent mineral buildup in the spray orifice.
