Rain Bird - XF Series Dripline 17mm Insert Fittings
Product Details
The Rain Bird XF Series 17mm Insert Fittings are specifically engineered to simplify the installation of XF Series Dripline, including XFD (on-surface) and XFS (sub-surface) models. These fittings have been redesigned to install twice as fast as standard barbed fittings. The unique barb shape significantly reduces the amount of force required for insertion while maintaining a high-strength, secure grip that prevents blowouts. With their professional-grade, UV-resistant construction and earth-toned brown color, these fittings blend seamlessly into landscapes for a clean, discreet appearance.
Key Features:
- Reduced Insertion Force: The redesigned barb profile requires significantly less effort to insert into the tubing, reducing hand fatigue during large installations.
- High-Quality Grip: High-strength barbs grab the tubing for a secure, long-lasting fit that holds under pressure.
- Durable Construction: Made from sturdy, break-resistant, and UV-resistant plastic to withstand harsh environmental conditions.
- Seamless Aesthetics: The non-obtrusive brown color is designed to match Rain Bird XF Series Dripline and natural earth tones.
- Broad Compatibility: Works with all Rain Bird XF Series Dripline and most other polyethylene tubing with a 17mm Outside Diameter (OD).
Specifications:
- Operating Pressure: 0 to 50 PSI (0.0 to 3.5 bar)
- Tubing Compatibility: 17mm Outside Diameter (OD)
- Material: UV-Resistant Polyethylene Plastic
- Available Models: Couplings, Elbows, Tees, and Threaded Adapters
- Color: Brown
Installation & Maintenance Tips:
- Tool Assistance: For large-scale projects, use the XF Insertion Tool (FITINS-TOOL) to reduce the effort required for insertion by up to 50%.
- Full Insertion: Ensure the tubing is pushed all the way past the second barb to the center flange to ensure a leak-proof connection.
- Pressure Management: If your system operating pressure exceeds 50 PSI, it is recommended to use stainless steel clamps to prevent tubing blowouts.
- No Glue Required: These are friction-fit barbed fittings; do not use PVC glue or lubricants during installation as they can compromise the seal.
Common Uses/Applications:
- Residential Landscapes: Ideal for flower beds, ground covers, and shrub areas.
- Sub-surface Irrigation: Used with XFS dripline for turf and garden areas where surface water is undesirable.
- Commercial Sites: Reliable enough for high-traffic municipal and commercial irrigation systems.
- Agricultural Drip: Suitable for small farms and orchards using 17mm distribution tubing.
Common Questions:
- Q: Do these fittings require clamps?
- A: For most residential applications under 50 PSI, these fittings provide a secure "self-holding" fit without clamps. For higher pressure systems (up to 60 PSI), clamps are recommended.
- Q: Will these work with 1/2" poly tubing?
- A: No. Standard 1/2" irrigation tubing (often 16mm or .600 ID) is slightly smaller. These are specifically sized for 17mm OD "XF" style tubing.
- Q: Are they reusable?
- A: While they can be removed by cutting the tubing, the barbs may lose some grip if reused multiple times. It is best to use new fittings for a guaranteed seal.
