Rain Bird XFD-CROSS 17mm barb cross is a purpose-built insert fitting designed for quick, secure connections with XF Series dripline. Engineered for professional irrigation and landscape installations, this fitting lets you create a four-way 17mm branch point with minimal insertion force. It installs faster than many older barbed fittings and is intended for use with Rain Bird XFD dripline and XFS subsurface dripline systems.

  • Fits 17mm tubing: Designed specifically to mate with Rain Bird XF Series dripline and compatible 17mm tubing.
  • Four-way connection: 17mm x 17mm x 17mm x 17mm cross configuration for branching and manifold layouts.
  • Reduced insertion force: Unique barb geometry lowers hand fatigue and speeds installation compared with older barbed fittings.
  • Operating pressure: Rated for 0 to 50 psi (1.0 to 3.5 bar); if system pressure reaches 60 psi (4.1 bar), clamps are required to secure the tubing.
  • Discreet color: Low-profile color options blend with natural earth tones for unobtrusive installation.

For best results use the XF insertion tool to reduce effort and ensure a secure, consistent fit. Refer to the XF Insert Fittings technical specifications and sell sheet for CAD, drawings, and additional installation guidance. Check system pressure before finalizing connections and add clamps at higher pressures.
