Rain Bird Xeri-Bug emitter barbs provide precise, low-volume drip irrigation ideal for plant root zones, trees, and containerized plants. Designed for long-term field use, these emitters meter water slowly so soils absorb moisture where plants need it most.

  • Available flow rates: 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 GPH (1.89, 3.79, 7.57 l/h) for customizable water delivery.
  • Operational pressure range: 15–50 psi to suit most residential and commercial drip systems.
  • Recommended filtration: 150–200 mesh to minimize clogging and maintain consistent flow.
  • Durable, UV-resistant plastic construction resists weathering and outdoor exposure.
  • Color-coded bodies (blue 0.5, black 1.0, red 2.0) for quick identification during installation.
  • Outlet barb retains 1/4" distribution tubing (XQ) for secure connections.
  • Self-flushing, self-piercing design works with the Xeriman™ tool to simplify installation and reduce maintenance.

Choose single-piece options or economy bags of 100. Xeri-Bugs are ideal for landscaping, tree basins and potted collections where targeted, low-flow irrigation improves plant health and conserves water.
