Rain Bird Emitter Tubing

This tubing is specifically designed for above-ground use. While you can cover it with a layer of mulch to help it blend into your landscape, it should not be buried directly in soil, as dirt can clog the emitters and impede water flow.

Unlike a standard soaker hose that 'weeps' water along its entire length, this emitter tubing has precise, built-in emitters spaced every 6 inches. This ensures a consistent, controlled flow of 0.8 gallons per hour at every point, preventing uneven watering.

Because this is 1/4-inch tubing, you will typically need a 1/4-inch barbed connector or a tee fitting to attach it to your main 1/2-inch drip irrigation supply line. It is a standard size, so most universal 1/4-inch drip irrigation fittings will work.

Yes, the material is rugged yet flexible, making it easy to unroll and snake around plants or through tight corners. It is designed to be staked into place, so you can easily secure it in the exact shape you need.

The tubing is constructed with UV-resistant materials specifically to withstand prolonged exposure to sunlight. It is durable enough to remain above ground throughout the growing season without degrading.
