The Rain Bird XBD81 Xeri-Bird 8-Outlet Drip Manifold delivers flexible, space-saving micro-irrigation for planters, pots, and landscape beds. Designed for new installs and retrofits, it accepts Xeri-Bug emitters or PC modules to control individual plant flows while simplifying maintenance.

  • Eight configurable bottom-mounted outlets accept 1/4" distribution tubing and securely retain lines.
  • Factory-installed eight 1 gph Xeri-Bug emitters (XBD81) and an integral 200-mesh (75 micron) filter provide reliable, debris-resistant performance.
  • Each port offers 10 flow options; per-outlet flow range 0.5–24 gph (1.89–90.84 l/h) for precise plant watering.
  • Operates across 15–50 psi (1.0–3.5 bar) and threads onto any 1/2" riser; use the optional PRS-050 in-stem pressure regulator for pressure-sensitive sites.
  • Removable union base allows the Xeri-Bird body to be lifted from the riser for quick servicing; install emitters inside the device to prevent back-pressure leaks.
  • Compatible replacement screen: XBD8SCRN; pairs with 1/4" XQ distribution tubing and optional diffuser bug caps for tidy line endings.

Compact, durable, and easy to service, the XBD81 is ideal where multiple individual lines are needed from a single riser. Review the technical specification PDF and Rain Bird installation guidance for CAD files, replacement parts, and recommended seasonal adjustments.
