Rain Bird XFS0918500  0.9 GPH 18 Inch Spacing Sub-Surface Dripline

Enjoy ultimate water efficiency and low-maintenance irrigation with the Rain Bird XFS0918500 Sub-Surface Dripline with Copper Shield Technology. This 500 ft. coil is Rain Bird’s most advanced solution for burying dripline under turf, shrubs, or groundcover. Its patent-pending Copper Shield Technology provides lifelong protection against root intrusion, which is the #1 cause of failure in sub-surface drip systems.

The XFS0918500 features built-in, pressure-compensating emitters every 18 inches, which deliver a consistent 0.9 GPH (gallons per hour) flow rate for unmatched watering uniformity. This dripline is made from a proprietary, extra-flexible tubing material that allows for tighter turns and easier installation with fewer elbows. The dual-layered, copper-colored tubing is also resistant to chemicals, algae, and UV damage.

By delivering water directly to the root zone, this sub-surface dripline eliminates wasteful overspray and evaporation, saving you water and money while promoting deeper, healthier plant growth.

Features:

• XFS Sub-Surface Dripline - 0.9 GPH, 18 in. Spacing, 500 ft. Coil
• Patent-pending Copper Shield™ Technology protects emitters from root intrusion
• Unique material offers significantly greater flexibility, allowing tighter turns with fewer elbows for easier installation
• Low profile emitter design reduces in-line pressure loss, allowing longer lateral runs.
• Ideal for on-surface and sub-surface applications.
• Accepts Rain Bird Easy Fit Compression Fittings, XF Dripline Insert Fittings and 17mm insert fittings
• Use an Air/Vacuum Relief Valve Kit when installation is below soil
• The pressure-compensating emitter design provides a consistent flow over the entire lateral length ensuring higher uniformity for increased reliability in the pressure range of 8.5 to 60 psi
• Copper-colored, dual-layered tubing provides unmatched resistance to chemicals, algae growth and UV damage
• Proprietary emitter design resists clogging by use of an extra-wide flow path combined with self-flushing action
