Rain Bird XFCV0918500 XFCV Dripline with a heavy-duty check valve delivers consistent micro-irrigation for on-surface and sloped areas. The 0.9 GPH pressure-compensating emitters improve uniformity while reducing waste.

  • Flow & spacing: 0.9 GPH emitters at 18 in spacing ideal for shrub and perimeter planting.
  • Coil & compatibility: 500 ft coil; works with Rain Bird Easy Fit compression, XF insert, and 17 mm barbed fittings.
  • Check valve: Patent-pending heavy-duty 3.5 psi check valve keeps the line charged and prevents drainage on elevation changes (holds ~8 ft).
  • Durability: Dual-layer tubing (copper over black) resists UV, chemicals and root intrusion; copper-shielded emitters resist clogging.
  • Specs: OD 0.634" (16mm), ID 0.536" (13.6mm), wall 0.049" (1.2mm); required filtration 120 mesh; operating range 20–60 psi.
  • Install tips: Use an air/vac relief for subsurface installs, maintain 120-mesh filtration, and avoid sharp bends to preserve emitter performance.

Designed for professionals and DIY landscapers, this Rain Bird XFCV dripline simplifies design and installation while maintaining precise water delivery across slopes and long laterals.
