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

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

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, the 400PL is constructed from high-impact ABS plastic and aluminum for a lightweight alternative that stands up to the rigors of daily greenhouse use.

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 that 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: Standard connection for use with Dramm handles, hose fittings, and touch valves.
• 40psi rating: Engineered for standard greenhouse water supply pressures.

Who Should Use This

The 400PL with Rubber Ring is ideal for greenhouse workers and growers who need the performance of the classic Dramm 400 Water Breaker with added impact protection. The rubber bumper makes it an excellent choice in high-traffic areas where the nozzle is regularly set down on hard surfaces or bumped against bench legs and container edges.

Compatibility

Connects to all standard 3/4in hose thread fittings, Dramm Handi-Reach handles of any length, and Dramm Touch'N Flow trigger valves. The 400PL is interchangeable with the 400AL aluminum version for all standard applications.

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. The 400PL is lighter in weight, which reduces arm fatigue during all-day use. Both deliver the same full-flow watering pattern. The 400PL with Rubber Ring also adds TPR bumper protection for improved durability in impact-prone environments.

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. This is particularly useful when the nozzle is set down on hard surfaces, bumped against greenhouse structures, or accidentally dropped during busy watering sessions.

Does the rubber ring affect water distribution?

No. The rubber bumper ring is a protective outer sleeve and does not affect the water flow path or spray pattern. The 400PL with Rubber Ring 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, which is standard for most greenhouse and nursery water supply systems. Using a pressure regulator to maintain this operating pressure will ensure optimal spray pattern performance and maximize nozzle longevity.
