Rain Bird XFS Sub-Surface Dripline with Copper Shield™ provides reliable, low-maintenance sub-surface irrigation for turf, shrubs, and groundcover. The copper-colored, dual-layer tubing protects emitters from root intrusion while delivering consistent water directly to the root zone.

  • Patent-pending Copper Shield™ Technology protects emitters from root intrusion and reduces maintenance.
  • Pressure-compensating emitters deliver a consistent 0.9 GPH at 18" spacing across the lateral run (8.5–60 PSI operating range).
  • Dual-layer copper-colored tubing resists chemicals, algae growth, and UV damage for long service life.
  • Extra-flexible material allows tighter turns and fewer elbows for easier installation in narrow or curved areas.
  • Low-profile, self-flushing emitter design reduces clogging and in-line pressure loss for longer lateral runs.
  • Compatible with Rain Bird Easy Fit compression fittings, XF insert fittings, and other 17 mm insert fittings; use 120-mesh filtration.

This 500 ft coil (model XFS0918500) features 1/2" tubing diameter (0.634" OD, 0.536" ID, 0.049" wall) and is suitable for both on-surface and sub-surface installations. For buried installations, use an air/vacuum relief valve kit and follow Rain Bird installation guidelines to maximize performance and longevity.
