Rain Bird XB106 Six-Outlet Xeri-Bug — 1 GPH per Outlet, Black Barb Inlet

Brand: Rain Bird | SKU: XB106

Product Overview

The black Rain Bird XB106 supplies a nominal 1 gallon per hour from each open outlet. Six ports let you route distribution tubing to nearby watering points, with one outlet supplied open and the remaining tips available to clip open as the layout expands. This model uses a barb inlet and pressure compensation over 15–50 psi.

Key Features

• Nominal 1 GPH from each open outlet.
• Six outlets, supplied with one open.
• Clip additional outlet tips above the barbs to activate more ports.
• Barbed outlets accept compatible 1/4-inch distribution tubing.
• Black housing identifies the flow selection.
• Pressure compensation and self-flushing action help maintain delivery.

Common Uses

• Distributing water to several nearby plants with the same per-outlet flow requirement.
• Expanding a drip layout gradually while leaving unused outlets closed.

Technical Specifications

• Model: XB106; manufacturer part X67000.
• Color: black.

Dimensions

Allow space around the six outlet barbs to attach tubing without kinks and keep the emitter accessible for inspection. The nominal 1/4-inch size describes outlet tubing compatibility; overall emitter height and width are not specified here.

Compatibility & Installation Notes

Connect the barb inlet to a compatible tubing supply and attach 1/4-inch distribution tubing to each active outlet. The manufacturer’s detail illustrates a barb-inlet multi-outlet emitter connected to polyethylene tubing inside an accessible emitter box, with stakes and diffuser bug caps at the plants. Select those separate components for the site. One port is supplied open; use snips to remove the plug above an additional outlet barb only when that port is needed. Flush the supply, provide upstream filtration and maintain 15–50 psi. Include 1 GPH for every open port in the zone demand. This is a flow-regulating emitter, rather than an unrestricted distribution manifold; its outlets all have the same nominal flow rating. It is not the 1/2-inch FPT-inlet XBT version.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the GPH rating shared by all six outlets?

No. Each open outlet delivers a nominal 1 GPH. With all six open, nominal total flow is 6 GPH.

Are all six ports open when supplied?

One outlet is supplied open. Additional ports are activated by clipping the plugged tip above the outlet barb with snips.

Does this emitter screw onto a threaded riser?

No. This XB model has a barb inlet. The XBT multi-outlet models have the separate 1/2-inch female pipe-thread inlet.

Why Buy from Big Frog Supply?

Choose the black XB106 for up to six watering points that each need a nominal 1 GPH. The barb inlet suits a compatible tubing supply, and unused outlets remain closed until needed. With all six outlets open, include 6 GPH in the zone total; choose the threaded XBT version instead if the supply connection is a 1/2-inch male pipe-thread riser.
