Rain Bird Emitter Tubing

No, this specific emitter tubing is designed exclusively for above-ground installation. Burying it can lead to soil entering the emitters and clogging the system.

These emitters automatically adjust the water flow to ensure that plants at the beginning of the line receive the same amount of water as those at the very end. This prevents uneven watering, even if your garden layout has slight elevation changes.

It is compatible with standard 1/2-inch barbed or compression irrigation fittings. While it is not designed to screw directly onto a standard garden hose spigot without an adapter, you can easily connect it to your main irrigation line using common drip irrigation connectors.

The tubing is engineered to be highly flexible and kink-resistant, which makes it much easier to unroll and snake around garden beds or curves compared to rigid poly tubing. It remains pliable even during installation.

The emitters feature clog-resistant technology, so they require very little maintenance. However, if you have hard water, it is good practice to flush the line at the end of the season to clear out any mineral buildup.

Yes, you can easily cut the tubing to your desired length using standard garden shears or a utility knife. Just ensure you use the appropriate end caps or fittings to seal the cut end and maintain water pressure.
