Low-profile Rain Bird XFF-FA-050 elbow adapter for XF Series dripline. Designed to join 17mm barbed tubing to a 1/2" female pipe thread with a secure, low-profile connection.

  • Secure fit: High-quality barbs grab 17mm tubing for a reliable, leak-resistant connection.
  • Low profile: Compact elbow keeps fittings close to the line for discreet installation.
  • 1/2" FPT inlet: Standard half-inch female pipe thread for easy connection to valves, heads or risers.
  • Reduced insertion force: Unique barb design installs faster and with less hand fatigue than traditional barbs.
  • Durable construction: Made from UV-resistant, break-resistant plastic in earth-tone colors to blend into landscapes.
  • Compatible: Works with Rain Bird XF Series dripline — including XFD and XFS — and most 17mm OD polyethylene tubing.

Easy to install and engineered for long-term outdoor use, the XFF-FA-050 simplifies retrofit and new-install projects. For large runs use the XF insertion tool to cut labor time and effort. Operating range: 0–50 PSI (1.0–3.5 bar); clamps required if using 60 PSI (4.1 bar).
