Rain Bird X71005 Pressure Compensating Drip Emitter 5 Gph

Product Description

The RAIN BIRD X71005 is a barbed, pressure-compensating drip emitter designed for low-volume irrigation systems. It delivers a consistent 5 gallons per hour (GPH) output across a range of operating pressures, making it well suited for drip irrigation zones where flow uniformity is critical. The light brown color coding helps field technicians identify emitter flow rates at a glance during installation and routine maintenance. This emitter is installed directly into drip tubing and is a standard component in professional landscape and agricultural irrigation systems.

This emitter is used in residential and commercial drip irrigation systems where precise, low-volume water delivery is required. Typical applications include landscape plantings, garden beds, and row crops served by polyethylene drip tubing. The pressure-compensating design maintains consistent output even when terrain elevation or system pressure varies across a zone, reducing the need for pressure regulation at each emitter location. Irrigation contractors and landscape professionals install this type of emitter during initial system builds and as replacement units during seasonal maintenance.

Key Features

• Pressure-compensating design maintains 5 GPH output across varying inlet pressures
• Barbed inlet fits directly into standard polyethylene drip tubing
• Light brown color coding provides quick visual flow-rate identification
• Low-volume output reduces water use compared to spray or rotor heads
• Compact module form factor simplifies field installation and replacement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation emitter for standard barbed-inlet drip irrigation tubing systems commonly used in residential and commercial landscape applications.

Installation Notes

Drip emitters of this type are installed by irrigation contractors or landscape professionals. Shut off system water supply and relieve line pressure before inserting or removing barbed emitters from tubing. Use a punch tool sized for the tubing diameter to create clean insertion holes. Installations should comply with local irrigation and backflow prevention codes.
