Rain Bird XFS Copper Shield dripline delivers reliable, pressure-compensating irrigation with industry-leading root intrusion protection. Each inline emitter includes Copper Shield™ technology and is engineered for consistent, uniform water delivery in surface or subsurface applications.

  • Flow rate: 0.9 gallons per hour (GPH) emitters at 12 in spacing.
  • Length: 500 ft coil with flexible tubing for tight turns and long lateral runs.
  • Durable construction: Dual-layer tubing (copper over black) resists UV, algae and chemical degradation.
  • Pressure range: Designed to operate effectively in the 20–60 psi range with pressure-compensating emitters.
  • Root protection: Copper Shield™ technology and copper chips at each emitter prevent root intrusion and reduce maintenance.
  • Compatibility & filtration: Works with Rain Bird XF fittings and 17 mm barbed insert fittings; requires 120 mesh filtration for best performance.

Typical dimensions: outside diameter 0.634" (16 mm), inside diameter 0.536" (13.6 mm) and wall thickness 0.049" (1.2 mm). Recommended inlet pressure and filtration help extend service life; ideal for dense groundcover, hedgerows and subsurface landscape irrigation where long-term, low-maintenance performance is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What pressure range does this dripline perform best in?
Designed to perform in the 20–60 psi range; opening pressure is approximately 14.5 psi. Use a pressure regulator if system pressure exceeds recommendations.
How close can I space the emitters for dense plantings?
This model has 12 in emitter spacing with 0.9 GPH flow — suitable for dense groundcover and hedgerow applications requiring uniform water distribution.
Is this dripline resistant to root intrusion and clogging?
Yes. Copper Shield™ technology places a copper chip at each emitter for root protection and the emitter design resists grit and self-rinses to reduce clogging.
What filtration is required for reliable operation?
Use a 120 mesh filter or finer at the point of connection and maintain regular filter cleaning to preserve pressure-compensating performance.
