The Rain Bird XBF2EL 1/4" Barb Elbow is a compact, field-ready connector for drip and xerigation systems. Engineered for reliable, low-profile connections, it routes 1/4" distribution tubing into 90° configurations or joins small tubing to larger lines with minimal effort.

  • Compatible tubing: Connects 1/4" Distribution Tubing (XQ) and attaches to 1/2" or 3/4" lines for flexible layout options.
  • Self-piercing barbs: Newly designed barbs easily puncture 1/2" and 3/4" tubing for quick, in-field attachment without extra adapters.
  • Tool-assisted installation: Stem enables fast, repeatable installs using the Xeriman™ Tool (XM-TOOL) for professional results.
  • Durable construction: Rugged plastic body provides dependable performance in typical outdoor drip applications.
  • Operating range: Designed for standard drip pressures—0 to 50 psi (0 to 3.5 bar) with polyethylene tubing.

Use the XBF2EL elbow to simplify layout changes, repair runs, or create clean 90° terminations in distribution mains. Its secure barbed fit minimizes leaks without additional adhesives, making installs faster and cleaner for professional contractors and DIY gardeners alike. Part of Rain Bird's XBF series, this elbow pairs with other 1/4" transfer fittings for a complete distribution system solution.
