Product Description
Dramm brass shut-o? valve is a professional quality full flow valve. Made of brass for durability. Aluminum shut-off valve is identical to brass valve with lighter weight body made of aluminum. Dramm valves are made in the USA.The 1/2 inch opening in this valve will allow 16 US gallons of flow per minute at 60 PSI. This is more flow than a 5/8 inch garden hose can supply, and as much as a 3/4 inch garden hose can supply. This does makes the valve "full flow".

Now for the company, Dramm. One of the two of my latest purchase arrived missing a nylon and rubber part on one side. I thought about just returning them to Amazon, but instead decided to contact Dramm directly, and found their customer service genuinely interested in my problem. Their representative was very familiar with the item and the parts that I needed. Four days later I had the exacts parts that I needed at my doorstep. I can not say enough about this valve or Dramm as they obviously stand behind their products.
Update Summer 2021: a lot of Chinese companies copied the design on this valve. But they are bad copies, they have a much smaller opening inside and only give you like half the flow.
I had one of my made in the USA Dramm valves I have had for like 20 years in it get a mysterious hole in the brass body. No idea how. Contacted Dramm, they promptly sent a new one and more free repair parts for my other valves. WOW! Show me a company in 2021 that has service like Dramm. They are the best. I keep buying more of their valves, water breakers, water wands and other products.
Update October 2018: Still 5 stars for these, I would give them more than 5 if I could believe me! Still the best and well worth the price in my mind. You get what you pay for. I called Dramm last month because I had a couple of these where the hose washers had gotten old and loose and fallen out. You can replace those hose washers with other brands, but in my case when they fell out it had allowed the little white plastic washers which are a custom Dramm part that locks the ball valve in place to also fall out and get lost in the tall grass.
I wanted to see if I could buy just a few of those washers without buying the entire kit which replaces all the internals and the handle and so on. I was glad they sell a kit with all that, but I didn't need it all. So I called and the representative I spoke with was so nice, she said she would just send me out what I needed at no charge. I got them the other day and was able to fix up those old valves. Wow. I hoped to be able to buy the parts, but getting sent them free of charge is just above and beyond. Now I feel I am in there debt and will have to buy more of their stuff ASAP. Smart company. I am sure they know that is how I will feel!
I will continue to buy US made Dramm valves. They have the best product and the best service too. Just tremendous. And it is good to know that if I ever need to buy a kit to replace all the internals I can do that too. Probably the solid brass valve body will outlast me and my wife and our son will inherit them all and be able to rebuild them. I made sure to show him what I was doing and tell him how good Dramm was to me so he would know this is not a disposable product, more of a family heirloom type of thing, the way many things used to be built but very few are now. They even sent detailed instructions to go with the parts. Just a great company all around.
Top reviews from other countries
- The valve is a solid piece of brass, which you can immediately appreciate after taking it out of the package and holding it in your hand. I thought it was a little expensive before I got it, but I knew I wanted something heavy-duty. Given the quality, it's definitely worth the $28, I don't expect to replace it anytime soon.
- The hose's flow rate doesn't feel compromised.
- I've had no issues with leaks
- The valve opens and closes with minimal effort
- It's really easy to swap out nozzles/sprinklers, which I've been doing regularly when switching between watering my lawn and watering my garden. I think this is my favourite feature, since, before I turn the water on, I typically have to adjust the pattern on my Gilmour Pattern Master Circular Sprinkler (I have odd lawn shapes all around my house). I know it's not a lot of effort to walk back to the main valve and turn it on, but it's one of those annoying repetitive tasks that you just wish you didn't have to do every time.
- The valve fits on a common garden hose. I personally found this confusing in a lot of listings for hose attachments because you'll often see a listing say it has a 3/4 inch thread, but then a garden hose may say it's 5/8 diameter and not mentioned anything that's 3/4 inch. In my case, my garden hose is 5/8 inch but its couplings are 3/4 inch so the valve and hose will fit together. Anyway, I hope this tidbit helps someone else so they don't worry about whether or not the valve will fit on their garden hose.
I used this as a shut off for a flex hose that I ran up to a second level deck to water the planters, replenish the bird bath, and general clean up duty. The flex hose collapses quite nicely into an ABS mailbox I also purchased on Amazon (wish the mailbox had a closure, the wind always pops it off...another small project). You can see I drilled a hole through the side of it for the main hose (red to match brick).

The item arrived nicely packed. You simply attach as needed on both ends and it makes quick and easy work of your shut off.
I have a small drip at my pipe where the hose is connected. I attached this unit to the pipe and my hose to the other end and voila! The drip is gone.
The flip switch is very smooth and seals nice and tight. It’s clear that this is an item built with quality in mind.
I wish I ordered two because I could certainly make good use of this in other areas around the yard/house.
I read the reviews and concerns with lead, but based on my research I believe that to be a California compliance requirement not due to content/manufacturing. When my item arrived (in Canada) it had no such warning label attached.
It’s the first time I ordered a Dramm product but it won’t be last.
