Dramm Water Breaker 170PL Nozzle - 7gpm - Blue - 40psi - 3/4in Hose Thread

Narrow-Pattern Watering for Small Containers, Hanging Baskets, and Low Pressure

A wide-pattern nozzle overshoots a small pot or hanging basket, wasting water on the bench or floor below. The Dramm Water Breaker 170PL is purpose-built for that scale instead: a concentrated, narrow spray pattern delivers water precisely into small-diameter containers without overspray onto adjacent benches or plants.

The lightweight plastic body keeps the nozzle comfortable at elevated heights when watering hanging baskets, and the design performs well in reduced-pressure zones where other nozzles may fall short. Rated at 7 GPM at 40 PSI with standard 3/4in hose threads.

Key Features & Benefits

• Narrow spray pattern — concentrated coverage for precise watering of small containers and hanging baskets where a wide-pattern nozzle would overspray.
• Suitable for low-pressure areas — an effective choice for watering zones with reduced line pressure where other nozzles may not perform as well.
• Lightweight plastic body — reduces arm fatigue during overhead and extended-reach watering of hanging baskets and elevated containers.
• 7 GPM at 40 PSI — efficient flow rate for commercial hanging basket and small-container watering tasks.

Who Should Use This

Greenhouse and nursery workers who water large numbers of small containers or hanging baskets, and who need a narrow, controlled spray without the weight of an aluminum nozzle during extended overhead work, are the direct fit for the 170PL.

About Dramm

Dramm Corporation has manufactured watering nozzles from its Manitowoc, Wisconsin headquarters since inventing the original water breaker in the early 1940s. The 170PL adapts that gentle-shower design specifically for small-scale, overhead watering work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is this nozzle best suited for?

The 170PL is designed for small containers and hanging baskets where a narrow, concentrated pattern is needed. It is also suitable for areas with lower water pressure where other nozzles may not produce adequate output.

How does the narrow pattern help with hanging basket watering?

A narrow pattern concentrates water into the small diameter of a hanging basket without overspray onto the floor, adjacent plants, or people below. That improves efficiency and reduces waste during overhead basket watering.

What flow rate does this nozzle produce?

The 170PL flows at 7 GPM at 40 PSI, the same rate as other 7 GPM Dramm water breakers, but in a narrower pattern footprint suited to smaller targets. That footprint is what keeps water off the surrounding bench.

Can this be used with a watering wand for extra reach?

Yes — the 3/4in thread connects to Dramm watering wands for extended reach when watering overhead hanging baskets or tall plant shelving without a ladder. That pairing is common for facilities with baskets hung above head height.
