Rain Bird XQ100 1/4-Inch Distribution Tubing — 100-Foot Coil

Rain Bird XQ100 1/4-Inch Distribution Tubing — 100-Foot Coil

Brand: Rain Bird | SKU: XQ100

Product Overview

Route a small outlet line from a compatible emitter or manifold to the plant with Rain Bird XQ100. The 100-foot coil is blank distribution tubing, so outlet positions and water delivery depend on the separately selected fittings and emission devices. Check the actual tube dimensions and line pressure loss when planning each run.

Key Features

• Nominal 1/4-inch tubing for compatible barbed outlets and transfer fittings.
• UV-resistant polyethylene material.
• Textured finish improves handling.
• Self-extracting coil stays together as tubing is pulled out.
• Blank tubing allows outlet placement to suit the plants.

Common Uses

• Extending a compatible emitter or manifold outlet to a plant.
• Small distribution lines serving suitable drip emission devices.

Technical Specifications

• Merchant SKU: XQ100; manufacturer model: XQ-100.
• Type: nominal 1/4-inch blank distribution tubing.
• Tubing operating-pressure range: 0–60 psi; complete-system limits depend on connected components.
• Material: UV-resistant polyethylene.
• Fits compatible barbed outlet ports and 1/4-inch transfer fittings.
• The tubing does not meter water. Allowable run length and delivered flow depend on outlet demand, pressure loss and the complete design.

Dimensions

• Tubing length: 100 feet per coil.
• Outside diameter: 0.25 inch.
• Inside diameter: 0.17 inch.
• Wall thickness: 0.04 inch.

Compatibility & Installation Notes

Match compatible 1/4-inch barbed outlets and fittings to the tubing’s actual ID and OD. These are different connections from the large 17mm insert fittings used to join XF dripline.

Provide suitable filtration and pressure regulation for the emission devices. A 60 psi tubing rating does not mean every connected emitter can operate at 60 psi.

Check pressure loss for the intended length and outlet demand. A 100-foot supply coil is not a recommendation to run every outlet line 100 feet.

Support the line near the root zone with an appropriate tubing stake. Where an emitter is upstream, use the appropriate outlet protection, such as a compatible diffuser bug cap, as the layout requires.

The gallery includes a tubing-coil illustration and a packaged XQ100 roll. Choose by the XQ100 model and the listed dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does XQ100 have built-in emitters?

No. It is blank distribution tubing. Separate emitters or other emission devices determine where and how much water is delivered.

Does the entire 100-foot coil make one recommended outlet run?

No. Cut lengths for the layout and check line pressure loss and outlet demand. Coil length alone does not establish a suitable run length.

What fittings fit this tubing?

Use compatible 1/4-inch barbed outlets and transfer fittings. The tube has a 0.17-inch inside diameter and 0.25-inch outside diameter.

Is the 60 psi rating a required emitter pressure?

No. It is the tubing pressure rating. Follow the pressure limits and requirements of the connected emitters, fittings and complete system.

Why Buy from Big Frog Supply?

Choose XQ100 for small outlet lines that need to reach individual plants, rather than for joining the larger XF dripline backbone. Its 0.17-inch ID and 0.25-inch OD help check barb fit, while the 100-foot self-extracting coil lets you cut the needed lengths. Size each run for pressure loss and outlet demand instead of treating the tube as a fixed-flow emitter.
