Rain Bird XFD0912100 On-Surface Dripline — 0.9 GPH, 12-Inch Spacing, 100 Feet

Rain Bird XFD0912100 On-Surface Dripline — 0.9 GPH, 12-Inch Spacing, 100 Feet

Brand: Rain Bird | SKU: XFD0912100

Product Overview

Lay out consistent emitter spacing through a hedge row, ground cover or dense planting bed with Rain Bird XFD0912100. This 100-foot coil has factory-installed pressure-compensating emitters rated 0.9 GPH each, spaced every 12 inches. Choose the emitter spacing for the soil and planting layout, then size each lateral for the available inlet pressure.

Key Features

• Factory-installed pressure-compensating inline emitters.
• 0.9 GPH per emitter with fixed 12-inch spacing.
• Flexible tubing supports tight planting layouts with fewer direction-change fittings.
• Dual-layer construction helps resist UV exposure, algae growth and chemicals.
• Low-profile emitter design reduces in-line pressure loss.

Common Uses

• On-surface irrigation of ground cover and dense planting beds.
• Hedge rows or narrow beds suited to the selected 12-inch emitter spacing.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility & Installation Notes

Use approved XF Dripline Insert Fittings or suitable Rain Bird Easy Fit Compression Fittings. Check the exact fitting’s compatibility and rating; nominal 1/2-inch wording alone does not establish fit.

Provide filtration and pressure regulation appropriate to the entire zone. A 60 psi tubing rating does not override the lower pressure limits of fittings or other components; Rain Bird calls for clamps on 17mm insert fittings above 50 psi.

Plan lateral lengths from the 12-inch-spacing, 0.9 GPH chart and calculate total emitter demand. The coil length is a supply length, not a guarantee that any joined layout will operate uniformly.

Flush the system during installation and provide accessible flushing points for maintenance. Avoid kinks and do not heat tubing to install insert fittings. Design below-soil applications and air/vacuum relief according to the applicable XF guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 0.9 GPH the flow of the whole coil?

No. It is the rated flow of each factory-installed emitter. Total zone demand depends on the number of emitters and the layout.

Does this coil have emitters or is it blank tubing?

XFD0912100 has 0.9 GPH inline emitters at 12-inch spacing. XFD100 is the separate 100-foot blank-tubing model without factory emitters.

What filtration does it require?

Rain Bird specifies 120-mesh filtration. Select the filter and pressure-control equipment for the complete zone.

Can I connect coils into any length of run?

No. Check the model-specific maximum lateral length at the available inlet pressure. For 0.9 GPH emitters at 12-inch spacing, the manufacturer chart lists a 230-foot maximum lateral at 30 psi.

Why Buy from Big Frog Supply?

Choose XFD0912100 when the bed calls for 0.9 GPH emitters every 12 inches and a 100-foot supply coil. Unlike blank XFD100, the emitter positions are built into the tubing. The 120-mesh filtration requirement and 230-foot lateral limit at 30 psi help plan the supply equipment and run layout before joining additional lengths.
