Rain Bird XFS Copper-Shield Dripline - 0.6 GPH, 500 ft

Rain Bird XFS Copper-Shield Dripline is a flexible, low-profile sub-surface tubing engineered for reliable turf and shrub irrigation. Patent-pending Copper Shield Technology protects emitters from root intrusion while delivering consistent, pressure-compensating flow across long lateral runs.

• 0.6 GPH pressure-compensating emitters at 12 in. spacing for uniform distribution and extended lateral lengths.
• 500 ft coil with 1/2 in tubing (outside diameter: 0.634" / 16.1 mm; inside diameter: 0.536" / 13.6 mm; wall: 0.049" / 1.2 mm).
• Dual-layer copper-colored tubing resists chemicals, algae growth and UV exposure — ideal for on-surface or buried installations.
• Operates across 8.5–60 psi; requires 120-mesh filtration to protect emitters and reduce clogging.
• Proprietary emitter design resists grit with a self-flushing flow path and low-profile construction to minimize in-line pressure loss.
• Accepts Rain Bird Easy Fit compression fittings, XF barbed insert fittings and standard 17 mm insert fittings; extra-flexible material allows tight turns and fewer elbows.

Best used for sub-surface turf, shrub beds, groundcover, and narrow planting strips where long-term, low-maintenance irrigation is required. Follow Rain Bird installation guidelines, use an Air/Vacuum relief valve when burying the line, and size filtration to 120 mesh or finer for reliable performance.
