Dramm Water Breaker 480AL Nozzle - 7gpm - Aluminum - 40psi - 3/4in Hose Thread

Dramm Water Breaker 480AL Nozzle - Wider Micro-Fine Pattern at 7gpm

The Dramm Water Breaker 480AL produces a wider spray pattern than the 400-series nozzles, using a stainless steel disk with micro-fine holes in a cast aluminum body to deliver a broader, gentle shower at 7gpm. The wider coverage footprint makes the 480AL particularly efficient for watering multiple containers per pass or covering wide nursery benches more quickly than narrow-pattern nozzles. Rated at 40psi with standard 3/4-inch hose threads.

Key Features & Benefits

• Wider spray pattern: Broader coverage footprint enables efficient watering of multiple containers per pass or wide nursery benches without sacrificing spray gentleness.
• Stainless steel disk with micro-fine holes: Precision micro-holes produce a gentle, even shower that will not disturb soil or damage tender plants.
• Cast aluminum body: Durable aluminum construction provides long service life in daily professional use.
• 7gpm at 40psi: Standard flow rate for greenhouse and nursery line pressures.
• 3/4-inch hose thread: Direct connection to hoses, watering wands, and quick connect fittings.

Who Should Use This

The 480AL is suited for growers who water wide nursery benches or rows of closely spaced containers and benefit from a wider coverage pattern that reduces the number of passes needed per watering cycle. The combination of width and gentleness makes it an efficient daily-use nozzle for bench and container production operations.

Compatibility

Fits standard 3/4-inch hose threads. Rated at 40psi. Use with a Dramm In-Line Hose Filter to protect the stainless steel disk from particulate clogging.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the 480AL pattern compare to the 400AL?

The 480AL produces a wider spray footprint than the 400AL, covering more area per pass. The 400AL flows at 11.1gpm; the 480AL flows at 7gpm with broader coverage - useful when you prioritize coverage width over maximum throughput.

Does the stainless steel disk need maintenance?

The disk is corrosion resistant and low-maintenance. If flow becomes uneven, remove and rinse the disk to clear mineral or particulate deposits from the micro holes.

What flow rate does this nozzle produce?

The 480AL is rated at 7gpm at 40psi operating pressure.

Is there a plastic version of the 480?

Yes. The 480PL is the plastic-bodied version of this nozzle with the same stainless steel disk for a lighter-weight option at the same flow and pattern specification.
