Dramm Water Breaker 480PL Nozzle - Gentle Wide-Pattern Watering at 7gpm

The Dramm Water Breaker 480PL uses micro-fine holes in a stainless steel disk to break the water stream into a gentle, wide-pattern shower suitable for container watering, seedling trays, and delicate plants. The plastic body is lightweight and durable, and the stainless steel disk provides corrosion-resistant, long-term performance. Rated at 7gpm at 40psi with standard 3/4-inch hose thread.

Key Features & Benefits

Who Should Use This

What flow rate does this nozzle produce?

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

Does the stainless steel disk need to be replaced?

The stainless steel disk is very durable and does not typically require replacement under normal use. If flow becomes uneven, remove and clean the disk to clear mineral or particulate deposits from the micro holes.

What hose thread size does this nozzle use?

Standard 3/4-inch hose threads for direct connection to garden hoses, watering wands, and irrigation fittings.
