The Rain Bird PC12 pressure-compensating module is a compact, point-source emitter engineered for consistent medium-flow irrigation of larger shrubs, trees and grouped plantings. Its pressure-compensating mechanism maintains steady output across a wide pressure range, reducing dry spots and overwatering while blending unobtrusively into drip systems.

  • Reliable 12 GPH (45.4 L/hr) flow rate for medium watering needs, ideal for shrubs and small trees.
  • Pressure-compensating performance across 10–50 PSI (0.7–3.5 bar) for uniform distribution on variable terrain.
  • Self-piercing barb inlet allows quick one-step insertion into 1/2

Frequently Asked Questions

What pressure range does the PC12 operate within?
The PC12 maintains consistent flow across 10–50 PSI (0.7–3.5 bar).
What filtration is required to protect the emitter?
Use 100‑mesh (approximately 150 µm) filtration to prevent clogging and ensure long-term performance.
What inlet and tubing sizes are compatible with the PC12?
The PC12 has a barb inlet for easy insertion into 1/4" distribution tubing and can pierce into 1/2" or 3/4" drip tubing with the Xeriman tool.
Do I need an accessory when using a PC Module as the system endpoint?
Yes. Install a PC diffuser cap (X50001 or X50002) when a PC Module is used as the final emission point to prevent squirting.
