Frequently Asked Questions

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

The 400AL uses a cast aluminum body for a durable, substantial feel, while the 400PL uses high-impact ABS plastic for a lighter alternative. Both produce the same 11.1gpm gentle shower pattern.

Why is this called a "water breaker"?

A water breaker nozzle "breaks" the solid stream from the hose into many small streams through an array of holes, converting a high-impact jet into a gentle shower that will not disturb soil or damage delicate plants.

What flow rate does this nozzle produce?

The 400AL delivers 11.1gpm at 40psi operating pressure - one of the highest flow rates in the Dramm water breaker range, ideal for fast, efficient container watering.

Is this nozzle made in the USA?

Yes. The Dramm Water Breaker 400AL is the original design, made in the USA to consistent professional quality standards.
