The Rain Bird XFS0618500 XFS Sub-Surface Dripline with Copper Shield™ Technology delivers reliable, low‑maintenance irrigation for turf, shrubs and narrow planting areas. This 500 ft coil features pressure‑compensating 0.6 GPH emitters spaced every 18 inches and a copper‑colored, dual‑layer tubing that resists root intrusion, algae, UV and chemical degradation.

  • Copper Shield™ root‑intrusion protection with a copper chip at each emitter for long‑term sub‑surface reliability.
  • Pressure‑compensating 0.6 GPH emitters provide consistent flow across long lateral runs within an 8.5–60 psi operating range.
  • 18 in. emitter spacing and a 500 ft coil suitable for narrow beds, lawns, and landscape edges.
  • Dual‑layer tubing specifications: 0.634" outside diameter, 0.536" inside diameter, 0.049" wall thickness for superior flexibility and durability.
  • Compatible with Rain Bird Easy Fit compression fittings, XF dripline insert fittings and standard 17 mm barbed insert fittings for quick connections.
  • Requires 120 mesh filtration; use an air/vac relief valve when installing below soil to prevent vacuum issues.

Designed for both on‑surface and sub‑surface installation, XFS dripline simplifies layout, reduces maintenance and improves uniformity. Its low‑profile emitters reduce in‑line pressure loss while a self‑flushing emitter path improves clog resistance. Install with recommended filtration and follow Rain Bird installation guidelines for best performance.
