XFS Dripline With Copper Shield™ Technology

Dripline Series

XFS

SUB SURFACE

Applications

Rain Bird® XFS Dripline with Copper Shield™ for sub-surface drip irrigation is the latest innovation in the Rain Bird Xerigation™ Family. Rain Bird’s patentpending 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. XFS Series 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 Dripline Barbed Insert Fittings and other 17 mm

Features

Simple

•Rain Bird’s patent pending shiny metallic copper-colored XFS dripline with Copper Shield™ Technology protects the emitter from root intrusion with out requiring EPA-approved handling procedures - unlike some manufacturers who use harsh

protect the emitter from root intrusion

•Through the use of a proprietary tubing material, the shiny metallic copper-colored XFS Dripline with

Copper Shield™ is the most exible dripline tubing in the industry making it the easiest sub-surface dripline to design with and install

•It accepts Rain Bird Easy Fit Compression Fittings, XFF Dripline Barbed Insert Fittings and other

reduces in-line pressure loss, allowing longer lateral runs, simplifying design and reducing installation time

Reliable

•XFS emitters are protected from root intrusion by Rain Bird’s patent-pending Copper Shield™ Technology resulting in a system that does not require maintenance or replacement of chemicals to prevent root intrusion

•The pressure-compensating emitter design provides a consistent

ensuring higher uniformity for increased reliability in the pressure range of 8.5 to 60 psi

XFS Dripline With Copper Shield™ Technology

Dripline Series

The exible, shiny metallic copper-colored polyethylene tubing shall have factory installed pressure-compensating, inline emitters spaced evenly per listed spacing. The ow rate from each installed inline emitter shall be 0.4, 0.6 or 0.9 gallons per hour when inlet pressure is between 8.5 and 60 psi.

The inline emitter diaphragm shall have a pressure-regulating diaphragm with a spring action allowing it to self-rinse if there is a

allows for easy non-linear installations. The inline emitter shall have copper shield technology installed to protect the emitter from root intrusion. The inline emitter inlet
