Rain Bird XFFTMA050 XF Tee Male Adapter is a low-profile barbed tee designed for quick, reliable connections on 17mm XF Series dripline. It pairs barbed 17mm inlets with a 1/2" MPT threaded inlet to connect drip tubing to standard 1/2" fittings without bulk.

  • Compatible with Rain Bird XF Series dripline, including XFD Dripline and XFS Subsurface Dripline.
  • High-quality 17mm barbs securely retain tubing while the unique barb profile reduces insertion force and hand fatigue during installation.
  • 1/2" MPT (male pipe thread) inlet provides a standard threaded connection to valves, drains, or adapters.
  • Redesigned insert fittings install faster than previous XF barb fittings—saving labor time on retrofit and new installs.
  • Low-profile, earth-tone finish keeps fittings discreet in landscape and subsurface applications.
  • Manufacturer and distributor sources commonly pack in multiples of 25; check product page for order quantity options.

Designed for low-volume drip systems, the XFFTMA050 works with Rain Bird XF tubing and is compatible with the XF insertion tool to ease assembly. For typical drip irrigation applications, follow local best practices for pressure regulation and secure the tubing with clamps if operating above recommended low-volume pressures.
