Rain Bird A16140MX Pressure Compensating Bubbler 2.0 Gpm

Product Description

The RAIN BIRD A16140MX is a pressure compensating bubbler designed for low-volume drip and bubbler irrigation systems. It delivers a steady 2.0 gallons per minute (GPM) output regardless of fluctuating line pressure, keeping flow consistent across zones. The 1/2 inch female iron pipe thread (FIPT) inlet makes it straightforward to connect to standard threaded fittings on a manifold or riser. Irrigation technicians and landscape professionals install this bubbler in tree rings, shrub beds, and planters where controlled, low-turbulence water delivery is required. The pressure compensating design reduces the need for flow adjustments when system pressure varies across a site.

This bubbler is suited for residential and commercial landscape irrigation applications. It works in drip and micro-irrigation zones where water must be delivered at grade level rather than sprayed. Typical installations include tree basins, large shrub beds, and raised planters connected to a standard 1/2 inch threaded riser or manifold outlet. It is commonly used by irrigation contractors and landscape maintenance professionals maintaining water-efficient irrigation systems.

Key Features

• Pressure compensating design maintains consistent 2.0 GPM output across varying line pressures
• 1/2 inch FIPT inlet threads directly onto standard risers and manifold outlets
• Low-volume delivery keeps water at grade, reducing runoff and overspray
• Compact, lightweight form factor at 0.02 pounds for easy handling and installation
• Sold in single-unit increments for flexible ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade component for standard 1/2 inch threaded drip and bubbler irrigation systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified irrigation technicians or licensed landscape contractors. Shut off the irrigation zone valve and relieve line pressure before threading the bubbler onto the riser or manifold outlet. Use appropriate thread seal tape on male threads per standard plumbing practice. Follow local irrigation and plumbing codes when integrating into a pressurized system.
