Use an Air/Vacuum Relief Valve Kit when installation is below soil
The pressure-compensating emitter design provides a consistent flow over the entire lateral length ensuring higher uniformity for increased reliability in the pressure range of 8.5 to 60 psi
Shiny metallic copper-colored, dual-layered tubing provides unmatched resistance to chemicals, algae growth and UV damage
Proprietary emitter design resists clogging by use of an extra-wide flow path combined with self-flushing action
Full purple jacket for reclaimed water applications
Rain Bird’s shiny metallic copper-colored XFS Dripline with Copper Shield™ for sub-surface drip irrigation is the latest innovation in the Rain Bird Xerigation® Family.
Rain Bird’s patent-pending Copper Shield Technology protects the emitter from root intrusion, creating a long-lasting, low maintenance sub-surface drip irrigation system for use under turf grass or shrub and groundcover areas.
Having the copper color outside ensures the copper chip is inside and that your dripline is protected from root intrusion.
XFS Dripline with Copper Shield is perfect for small, narrow and tight planting areas, as well as areas with tight curves or many switchbacks. It accepts Rain Bird Easy Fit Compression Fittings, XFF Barbed Insert Fittings and other 17 mm barbed insert fittings.
Reliable - The pressure-compensating emitter design provides a consistent flow over the entire lateral length ensuring higher uniformity for increased reliability in the pressure range of 20 to 60 psi
Durable - Dual-layered tubing (copper over black) provides unmatched resistance to chemicals, algae growth and UV damage.
Grit Tolerant - Rain Bird’s proprietary emitter design resists clogging by use of an extra wide flow path combined with a self-flushing action
