Rain Bird X48082 Drip Line 0.9 Gph 12 in Spacing 500 Ft

Product Description

The RAIN BIRD X48082 is a 16mm subsurface and surface drip irrigation line engineered for reclaimed water applications. Emitters are factory-installed at 12-inch spacing with a flow rate of 0.9 gallons per hour (GPH) per emitter, delivering consistent, low-volume water distribution directly to the root zone. Each roll covers 500 feet, making it well-suited for large turf, landscape, and agricultural zones. Licensed irrigation contractors and landscape professionals install this product as part of low-pressure drip systems designed to maximize water efficiency and meet reclaimed water use requirements.

This drip line is intended for reclaimed or recycled water irrigation systems in residential and commercial landscape applications. The 12-inch emitter spacing is appropriate for turf areas, groundcover, and closely spaced plantings. At 500 feet per roll, a single roll provides substantial coverage for row crops, turf panels, or large planting beds. It is designed to operate in low-pressure drip zones and integrates with standard drip irrigation headers, filters, and pressure regulators.

Key Features

• Factory-installed emitters at 12-inch spacing for uniform water distribution
• 0.9 GPH per emitter flow rate suited for low-volume irrigation zones
• 16mm tubing diameter compatible with standard drip fittings and headers
• Rated for reclaimed and recycled water use
• 500-foot roll reduces splice points and installation time on large zones

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style drip irrigation line compatible with standard 16mm drip system components including barbed fittings, inline filters, and pressure regulators used in residential and commercial low-volume irrigation systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed irrigation contractor familiar with local water reuse codes and backflow prevention requirements for reclaimed water systems. Shut off the irrigation zone and depressurize the line before making connections or repairs. Use a tubing cutter rather than a blade to ensure clean cuts that seat properly in barbed fittings. Follow local authority having jurisdiction requirements for reclaimed water system identification, including purple pipe and signage standards where applicable.
