Rain Bird XFD Dripline

We also sell Rain Bird XFS dripline for sub-surface installations.

What is Rain Bird XFD Series Dripline? Rain Bird is a big name in irrigation, and this is their 1/2" tubing with inline emitters.

Why Rain Bird XFD? Rain Bird XFD is a top-of-the-line drip tubing with inline emitters, comparable to Netafim Techline CV, but priced a little bit cheaper.

Why not Rain Bird XFS? Rain Bird recommends XFS for sub-surface installations because of their Copper Shield technology. You pay extra for this, and since on-surface installations have less root intrusion issues, they suggest purchasing the less expensive XFD. It's worth noting, you CAN install XFS on-surface.

  • Flow Rate: 0.6 GPH and 0.9 GPH
  • Emitter Spacing: 12" and 18"
