Dripline

Features

Custom Smart Spacing

  • Save on irrigation costs
  • Specify any repeating pattern for emitter spacing from 6 to 96 inches
  • Irregular patterns are acceptable as long as the pattern repeats

GritX Emitters

  • +50% of the time, when systems don’t perform as expected, it's due to clogged emitters
  • Filter-less “self-cleaning” emitter design prevents clogs by allowing grit to pass through easily
  • Market leading Distribution Uniformity, flow rate accuracy, and recovery times
  • Precision manufacturing means exact emitter placement and no negative run out

Factory to Farm Guarantee

  • Rain Bird manufactures every component of S5 Dripline
  • Proprietary resin blend and coiling machinery limits coil memory to ensure easy and flat roll out
  • Custom pallets guarantee S5 Dripline arrives in pristine shape and is easy to handle
  • Multi-point inspection policy ensures product quality from factory to farm

Features

Simple
Rain Bird’s patent-pending 4.3 psi check valve technology keeps the dripline charged with water at all times, increasing uniformity of watering, and conserves water by eliminating the need to recharge the line at the beginning of each watering cycle
XFS-CV Sub-Surface Dripline 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
Rain Bird’s low-profile emitter design reduces in-line pressure loss, allowing longer lateral runs, simplifying design and reducing installation time
Variety of standard emitter flow rates, emitter spacing and coil lengths provide design flexibility for sub-surface and on-surface areas with or without elevation changes
Through the use of a proprietary tubing material, the XFS-CV Dripline with heavy-duty check valve is the most flexible dripline tubing in the industry, making it the easiest dripline to design with and install
Made with Recycled Content
All Rain Bird XF Dripline (XFD, XFS, XFCV, XFS-CV) qualify for LEED credit 4.2 because they contain at least 20% Polyethylene post consumer recycled material by cost. These come in an assortment of coil sizes, flow rates and emitter spacing
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
