Rain Bird XFS Copper Shield Dripline — 0.9 GPH, 100 ft
Rain Bird XFS Subsurface Dripline with Copper Shield™ technology delivers reliable, low‑maintenance irrigation for turf, shrubs, and groundcover. The copper-colored outer layer and patent‑pending Copper Shield protect inline emitters from root intrusion while resisting algae, chemicals and UV. Pressure-compensating emitters provide uniform flow across long lateral runs for more consistent plant watering.
- Flow rate: 0.9 GPH inline, pressure-compensating; operates 8.5–60 PSI.
- Coil & spacing: 100 ft coil with 12 in (30.5 cm) emitter spacing; coil color: copper.
- Dimensions: OD 0.634" (16 mm), ID 0.536" (13.6 mm), wall thickness 0.049" (1.2 mm).
- Compatibility: Accepts Rain Bird Easy Fit Compression, XF insert fittings and 17 mm barbed fittings; use an Air/Vacuum Relief Valve Kit for below-soil installations.
- Design benefits: Dual-layer copper exterior for root protection, extra-flexible tubing for tight turns, low‑profile self‑flushing emitters and grit-tolerant flow path to resist clogging.
Suitable for on-surface and subsurface xerigation installations, XFS is ideal where low profile and long-term reliability are required. Install with a 120 mesh filter and follow Rain Bird’s installation guide for best performance. For buried installations, check local codes and consider an air/vac kit to prevent negative pressure damage.
