Rain Bird X73010 Pc Low-flow Bubbler 10 Gph

Product Description

The RAIN BIRD X73010 is a pressure-compensating (PC) low-flow bubbler designed for precise, low-volume water delivery in drip and bubbler irrigation systems. Operating at 10 gallons per hour (GPH), it maintains a consistent flow rate across a range of inlet pressures, making it well suited for sloped terrain, mixed-zone layouts, and applications where flow uniformity is critical. The 1/2-inch female iron pipe thread (FIPT) inlet provides a standard threaded connection to risers and distribution manifolds. The green color coding aids visual identification in the field. Irrigation technicians and landscape professionals are the primary installers of this component.

The X73010 is used in residential and light commercial drip and bubbler irrigation zones, typically installed at the base of trees, shrubs, or groundcover plantings where controlled surface delivery is required. Its low flow rate makes it appropriate for water-efficient designs, xeriscaping applications, and zones where emitter uniformity is needed across uneven grades. The 1/2-inch FIPT connection fits standard riser assemblies and poly pipe manifolds commonly used in low-volume irrigation layouts.

Key Features

• Pressure-compensating design maintains consistent 10 GPH output across varying inlet pressures
• 1/2-inch FIPT inlet threads onto standard risers and manifold fittings
• Low-flow output supports water-efficient irrigation zone design
• Green color coding for quick field identification
• Compact form factor suited for surface or above-grade installation at plant bases

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style low-flow bubbler for use with standard 1/2-inch FIPT riser assemblies and low-volume drip irrigation distribution systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed irrigators or qualified landscape irrigation technicians. Shut off the irrigation zone and relieve system pressure before threading the bubbler onto the riser to avoid cross-threading or seal damage. Hand-tighten with a strap wrench as needed — avoid over-tightening on threaded poly or PVC risers. Verify system operating pressure falls within the rated compensation range after startup to confirm consistent flow output.
