Dramm QAV Shut-Off Valve - Black

Quarter-Turn Water Shut-Off for Hose Lines - 11 GPM

Stopping and restarting water at the end of a hose wastes time when the valve is small, stiff or slippery. The Dramm QAV Shut-Off Valve uses an oversize handle and a quarter-turn action, so you can close the flow with wet hands. Its ball and handle are molded as one piece, which removes the joint where many valves wear out first.

Sold as a single valve, it suits home gardeners who want a dependable shut-off on one hose, and growers who need a spare for each watering station or hose line in an indoor or commercial space.

Key Features & Benefits

• One-piece molded ball and handle — removes the traditional weak joint between the two parts for longer service life.
• Oversize handle — gives easy fingertip control of the water.
• Quarter-turn operation — shuts water off quickly, even with wet hands.
• 11 GPM flow — supports high-volume watering.
• Standard hose thread — threads onto standard garden hoses.

Who Should Use Dramm QAV Shut-Off Valve

Anyone who waters by hose and wants to stop flow at the point of use: hobby gardeners, greenhouse staff, and commercial cultivation teams moving between benches or rows.

Q: How do I shut off the water?
