Dramm Water Breaker 400PL Nozzle with Rubber Ring - Blue - Full Flow - 3/4in Thread

Full-Flow 400PL Now Protected by a TPR Impact Ring

The Dramm Water Breaker 400PL with Rubber Ring delivers the same fast, full-flow watering performance as the classic 400 series, now with a TPR rubber bumper ring that protects the nozzle from both frontal and side impacts. Patterned after the original 400 Aluminum Water Breaker, it is constructed from high-impact ABS plastic and aluminum for a lightweight alternative that stands up to the rigors of daily greenhouse use.

The nozzle connects to all standard 3/4in hose thread fittings, Dramm Handi-Reach handles of any length, and Dramm Touch'N Flow trigger valves, and is interchangeable with the standard 400AL aluminum version for any application already built around that pattern.

Key Features & Benefits

• TPR rubber bumper ring: Protects the Water Breaker from frontal and side impacts during daily use, significantly extending nozzle life in busy greenhouse environments.
• Full-flow watering: Provides fast, high-volume water delivery in the gentle shower pattern Dramm Water Breakers are known for, without damaging plants.
• Lightweight ABS plastic and aluminum construction: A durable, corrosion-resistant alternative to the all-aluminum 400AL at reduced weight for all-day handling comfort.
• Blue color coding: Clear color identification makes it easy to distinguish from other nozzle types on busy greenhouse carts and tool racks.
• 3/4in hose thread, 40psi rating: Standard connection engineered for typical greenhouse water supply pressures.

Who Should Use This

Greenhouse workers and growers who need the performance of the classic Dramm 400 Water Breaker with added impact protection are the direct fit, especially in high-traffic areas where the nozzle is regularly set down on hard surfaces or bumped against bench legs and container edges.

About Dramm

Dramm Corporation invented the original Water Breaker nozzle at its Manitowoc, Wisconsin facility in the 1940s, and the 400PL with Rubber Ring extends that full-flow shower design with a bumper built for the wear-and-tear of daily commercial handling.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the 400PL and the 400AL Water Breaker?

The 400AL is constructed entirely from aluminum, while the 400PL uses high-impact ABS plastic and aluminum for a lighter weight that reduces arm fatigue during all-day use. Both deliver the same full-flow watering pattern, and this version adds TPR bumper protection on top of that.

What does the rubber ring protect against?

The TPR (thermoplastic rubber) bumper ring wraps around the Water Breaker body to absorb impacts from both the front face and the sides. That is particularly useful when the nozzle is set down on hard surfaces, bumped against greenhouse structures, or accidentally dropped during busy watering sessions.

How does the rubber ring affect water distribution?

It does not. The rubber bumper ring is a protective outer sleeve and has no effect on the water flow path or spray pattern, so it produces the same even, gentle shower distribution as the standard 400PL.

What pressure is this nozzle rated for?

The Dramm 400PL is rated for use at 40 psi, standard for most greenhouse and nursery water supply systems. Using a pressure regulator to maintain this operating pressure helps optimize spray pattern performance and nozzle longevity.
