Dramm® One Touch Valve - 8 GPM

Thumb-Tip Precision Water Control for Greenhouse Watering

The Dramm® One Touch Valve puts fingertip water control literally at your thumb — a single smooth slide of the valve adjusts flow anywhere from fully off to fully open with thumb-tip precision, without releasing your grip on the hose. The zinc die-cast body and nylon valve components deliver long-lasting durability for daily commercial use, while the 8 GPM at 40 PSI flow rate is suitable for hose watering throughout greenhouse bays, propagation benches, and indoor grow areas.

Key Features & Benefits

• Thumb-tip flow adjustment — slide the valve from off to full flow without releasing your grip; one-handed, precision control during active watering.
• Full range adjustment — flow can be set anywhere between fully off and fully open, allowing gentle misting or high-volume watering from the same valve.
• Zinc die-cast body — robust metal construction for commercial durability and resistance to daily handling stress.
• Nylon valve components — chemically resistant internal parts for long service life in hydroponic and greenhouse environments.
• 8 GPM at 40 PSI — adequate flow for effective single-hose watering in most greenhouse and grow room applications.

Who Should Use This

Greenhouse growers and hydroponic operators who need quick, one-handed flow adjustment during hand-watering tasks — without setting down or regripping the hose.

Compatibility

Standard hose thread connection. Compatible with greenhouse hoses and standard hose bib fittings. Rated at 8 GPM at 40 PSI.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this different from Dramm's OneTouch High-Flow Valve?

Yes — this valve is rated at 8 GPM; the Dramm OneTouch High-Flow Valve is rated at 16 GPM with a larger internal opening for greater volume output.

Can I set the valve to a partial flow position and leave it there?

Yes — the slide design holds at any position along its range without requiring continuous thumb pressure, making sustained partial-flow watering comfortable.

How does thumb-tip control differ from a lever valve?

Lever valves typically snap to fully open or fully closed. The One Touch slide gives you smooth, variable flow control at any point in the range.

Is this valve repairable?

The nylon internal components are replaceable. Contact Dramm or your dealer for replacement parts and service information.
