The Efficiency of Drip, Engineered by Rain Bird® Benefits of Xerigation®
The Rain Bird’s low volume irrigation products were coined with the phrase
“Xerigation” in the 1990’s and include drip irrigation and low volume spray
products. The Rain Bird Xerigation system is the most efficient way to water Design flexibility
landscapes.
Elimination of overspray
and runoff
Over the last fifteen years, Rain Bird has been a leader in innovation advances
that customers value. Earlier advances included the Xeri-PopTM, the first efficient High water efficiency
low volume spray with a spray head that retracts out of sight, the self-cleaning
back flush filter that reduces maintenance by automatically flushing out debris, Water is delivered at or near
and the PR Series Pressure Regulating Filter that combined the regulator and the plant root zone
filter into one component reducing the potential for leaks.
Plants stay healthier and
Today, Rain Bird continues the tradition of innovation with the SQ Series Nozzle live longer
and the XF Series Dripline featured below. With the broadest product line,
Rain Bird’s Xerigation systems can be designed to meet any site requirement
providing unmatched quality, efficient water use, and ease of installation.
It is Rain Bird’s long-standing

SQ Series Nozzle
For irrigating small areas with dense plantings, the SQ drip irrigation products apart.
Series Nozzle is the most precise and efficient nozzle
available. With built-in pressure compensation and a
unique square spraying pattern, the need for
overlapping is greatly reduced. This means less
overspray, overwatering, and runoff than traditional
nozzles. It also means you need less nozzles,
dramatically reducing your costs and installation time. Demonstrated Water Savings

The XF Series Dripline is the most flexible, pressure-

unique material offers significantly greater flexibility, Solution: Rain Bird developed a
allowing tighter turns with fewer elbows for easier comprehensive irrigation system for
installation. The dual-layered tubing (brown over the IEUA site, including Xerigation

Rain Bird Control Zone Kits. Two components (valve

Broadest Product Line in the Industry
With over 150 products, Rain Bird has the products needed for your application. Systems can be designed to meet any site requirements
and offer many exclusive Rain Bird advances including:
• Flexible XF Series dripline with advanced polymers that provide kink- resistance and reduced coil memory for easier installation
• Compact Control Zones with matched pressure regulator and filter to reduce parts, eliminate potential leak problems, and allow
for fitting more Control Zones in a valve box
• Precision low volume SQ spray nozzles that offer a square wetting pattern and adjust to either 2.5' or 4' throw distances
• Point-source emitters that provide pressure compensation with a wide selection of flow rates and three inlet options (Barb, 1032
threaded, and ½" FPT)
• XFS dripline with Copper Shield Technology™ for use in sub-surface applications under turf or shrub and groundcover areas. The
copper chip effectively protects the emitter from root intrusion
