Rain Bird X47002 Drip Irrigation Tubing 0.6 Gph 500 Ft

Product Description

The RAIN BIRD X47002 is a 16mm pressure-compensating drip irrigation tube designed for consistent, low-volume water delivery in landscape and agricultural drip systems. Factory-installed emitters are spaced 12 inches apart and rated at 0.6 gallons per hour (GPH), delivering uniform output across the run regardless of terrain-induced pressure variation. The roll covers 500 feet, making it well suited for large planting beds, row crops, or extended irrigation zones. Licensed irrigation contractors and landscape professionals install this tubing as a primary distribution line in subsurface or surface drip systems.

This drip tube is used in residential and commercial landscape irrigation systems where precise, low-flow emitter output is required. Typical applications include flower beds, vegetable gardens, orchards, vineyard rows, and slope plantings where overhead spray is impractical. The 12-inch emitter spacing is standard for ground-cover and closely spaced plant material. The 500-foot roll length allows irrigation installers to cover long runs with minimal splices, reducing potential leak points in the system.

Key Features

• Pre-installed emitters spaced 12 inches apart for consistent coverage across the run
• 0.6 GPH per emitter output rate for precise low-volume water delivery
• 16mm tubing diameter compatible with standard drip fittings and barbed connectors
• 500-foot roll length reduces splice count on long irrigation runs
• Pressure-compensating emitter design maintains rated flow across varying system pressures

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation drip line for 16mm drip irrigation systems using standard barbed fittings and couplings.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed irrigation contractor following local plumbing and irrigation codes. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before cutting or connecting tubing. Use barbed fittings sized for 16mm tubing and a proper insertion tool to fully seat connections and prevent pull-out. Flush the line before capping the end to clear any debris introduced during installation.
