Rain Bird XBD80 Xeri-Bird 8 Multi-Outlet Drip Device

Rain Bird XBD80 Xeri-Bird 8 Multi-Outlet Drip Device

Brand: Rain Bird | SKU: XBD80

Product Overview

Supply several plants from one riser while choosing the flow for each outlet with the XBD80. This eight-outlet Xeri-Bird manifold connects to a 1/2-inch threaded riser and includes seven removable port plugs and a filter. Add compatible emitters inside the housing to match individual plant needs; the XBD80 is the configurable base model, rather than the XBD81 with eight factory-installed 1 GPH emitters.

Key Features

• Eight bottom outlets connect to 1/4-inch XQ distribution tubing.
• Top-access 200-mesh filter simplifies cleaning.
• Removable union base lets you lift the body from the riser for service.
• Internal ports accept compatible Xeri-Bug emitters, PC Modules or SPB-025 connectors.

Common Uses

• Distributing drip irrigation to shrubs, trees and container plants from a central riser.
• Converting a suitable riser location to individually configured drip outlets.

Technical Specifications

• Manufacturer model: XBD-80; eight configurable outlets.
• Inlet: 1/2-inch female pipe thread; outlets accept 1/4-inch XQ tubing.
• Operating pressure: 15–50 psi.
• Configured emitter flows: 0.5–24 GPH per outlet, depending on the emitter installed.
• Filtration: integral 200 mesh (75 micron).
• Includes seven removable port plugs and one filter. Flow-control emitters and distribution tubing are purchased separately.
• Pressure regulation requires a separate suitable regulator; do not treat this manifold as a built-in 40 psi regulator.

Dimensions

• Manufacturer-listed dimensions: 9.2 inches long × 6.4 inches wide × 6.6 inches high.

Compatibility & Installation Notes

Select the emitter or PC Module for each plant and install it inside the Xeri-Bird housing. Rain Bird requires internal emitter placement to avoid excess back pressure. Plug unused ports.

Check zone pressure and provide appropriate regulation before connecting drip tubing. The optional PRS-050-30 in-stem retrofit regulator is separate. An SPB-025 connector provides an unrestricted connection rather than a fixed flow rate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does XBD80 include eight 1 GPH emitters?

No. XBD80 includes seven removable port plugs and a filter. The XBD81 is the model supplied with eight factory-installed 1 GPH emitters.

Is the flow rating 24 GPM?

No. Configured emitter flow is measured in gallons per hour: 0.5–24 GPH per outlet, depending on the emitter installed.

Where do I install the emitters?

Install compatible emitters inside the Xeri-Bird housing. Rain Bird requires this arrangement to avoid excess back pressure.

Does XBD80 regulate pressure by itself?

No. Use a separate suitable pressure regulator when the application requires one, and keep operating pressure within 15–50 psi.

Why Buy from Big Frog Supply?

Choose the XBD80 when plants sharing one riser need different emitter flows. Its eight configurable ports and seven included plugs let you build only the outlets you need, while the top-serviceable 200-mesh filter and removable union base make a central drip connection easier to maintain.
