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

Dramm Water Breaker 170PL Nozzle - Narrow Pattern for Small Containers and Low Pressure

The Dramm Water Breaker 170PL is purpose-designed for small containers, hanging baskets, and low-pressure watering environments where a concentrated, narrow spray pattern is more effective than a wide shower. The narrow coverage footprint delivers water precisely into small-diameter containers without over-spraying onto adjacent benches or plants, and the plastic construction keeps the nozzle lightweight for use at elevated heights when watering hanging baskets. Rated at 7gpm at 40psi with standard 3/4-inch 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 surrounding areas.
• Suitable for low-pressure areas: An excellent choice for watering zones with reduced line pressure where other nozzles may not perform optimally.
• Lightweight plastic body: Low-weight construction reduces arm fatigue during overhead and extended-reach watering of hanging baskets and elevated containers.
• 7gpm at 40psi: Efficient flow rate for commercial hanging basket and small-container watering tasks.
• 3/4-inch hose thread: Standard thread for compatibility with hoses and watering wands.

Who Should Use This

The 170PL is the right choice for greenhouse and nursery workers who water large numbers of small containers or hanging baskets and need a nozzle that delivers a narrow, controlled spray into individual pots without excessive overspray or the weight penalty of an aluminum nozzle during extended overhead work.

Compatibility

Fits standard 3/4-inch hose threads. Rated at 40psi. Suitable for use in lower-pressure watering zones. Compatible with Dramm watering wands for extended reach applications.

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 benefit 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 - improving efficiency and reducing waste during overhead basket watering.

What flow rate does this nozzle produce?

The 170PL flows at 7gpm at 40psi, the same rate as other 7gpm Dramm water breakers, but in a narrower pattern footprint.

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

Yes. The 3/4-inch thread connects to Dramm watering wands for extended reach when watering overhead hanging baskets or tall plant shelving without ladders.
