At Dramm, we make products for professional use. To live up to that standard, sound engineering, high quality components and repeated testing is required.

Dramm performs a number of quality tests regularly when designing products and when producing products to ensure that we provide the highest quality product possible.

Valve Performance Testing

Dramm produces a number of different shut-off valves. The most important quality factor we test for is the ability to hold water.

Our shut-off testing machine can test any quarter-turn shut-off valve for leaks. Each design is given a baseline number of cycles. Throughout production, samples are tested against this baseline. Even competing valves are tested.

Waterbreaker Damage Testing

A common issue in professional use is damage to the Waterbreaker body.

Our testing slams the Waterbreaker agains concrete repeatedly. This helps us design more durable parts.

This testing has resulted in the design and continual improvement of the WBPR Rings that are standard on all 1000 and 750 nozzles.

Waterbreaker and Wand Drag Testing

Professionals will often drag our wands across concrete and gravel when coiling hose.

In this test, wands are dragged at various angles for varying lengths of time across concrete.

We use this test to continually improve our products.

Thread Durability Testing

Dramm tools are often threaded and unthreaded multiple times per day..

This test checks both the male and female thread wear on different components.

Repeated threading and unthreading shows if there is undue thread wear that could result in a leak or a weak connection.

At Dramm, we pride ourselves on providing the highest quality products and service. Of course, we can always learn from our customers. If you have any comments on our quality or ideas that we can incorporate, please contact us at the number to the left or via email.
