Dramm Water Breaker 400AL Nozzle - 11.1gpm - Aluminum - 40psi

400AL Nozzle — The Original Full-Flow Shower Head

The Dramm Water Breaker 400AL Nozzle establishes the classic full-flow shower head performance that defines the 400-series line. Cast aluminum with 3/4in brass hose threads, hand-machined to the precise tolerances that produce Dramm's characteristic gentle, full-flow shower. Rated at 11.1 GPM at 40 PSI for standard greenhouse and nursery line pressures.

Hand-machined cast aluminum body with brass hose threads for a secure, leak-free connection. The water breaker pattern converts the hose stream into a gentle shower that lands without the impact force that compacts soil or knocks over small plants.

About Dramm

Dramm Corporation established the water breaker category in the early 1940s from its Manitowoc, Wisconsin headquarters, and the 400-series nozzles carry that original full-flow design forward today. It remains one of the company's longest-running product lines.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the 400AL compare to the 400PL?

The 400AL uses a cast aluminum body for a durable, substantial feel, while the 400PL uses high-impact ABS plastic with aluminum internals for a lighter alternative. Both produce the same 11.1 GPM 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 shower will not disturb soil or damage delicate plants the way a bare hose stream would.

What flow rate does this nozzle produce?

This nozzle delivers 11.1 GPM at 40 PSI operating pressure. That places it toward the higher-volume end of the Dramm water breaker range, suited to fast container watering.

Is this nozzle made in the USA?

Yes — this Dramm Water Breaker is made in the USA to the company's original professional quality standards. That domestic manufacturing has been consistent since the water breaker category was first established.
