XF Series DriplineDesign, Installation and Maintenance GuideSECTION 1:Section 1This guide covers the basics of design, installation, andmaintenance for Rain Bird’s XF Series Dripline. Included aredesign steps, technical data, installation layouts and designdetails to assist in the design of the more common driplineapplications.INTRODUCTIONA low volume irrigation system typically applies water slowly,at low pressure, at or near the root zones of plant material.Whether referred to as drip, micro irrigation, or low volume,these systems feature emission devices that apply water ingallons per hour (GPH) or liters per hour (l/hr) as opposed tothe gallons per minute (GPM) or liters per minute (l/min) of aconventional overhead spray irrigation system.Low-volume irrigation can greatly reduce or eliminate waterwaste while promoting healthier plant growth because you can: Match the amount of water applied to the specific needof each plant More closely match the application rate to the soil’sinfiltration rate Apply water directly to the root zone, reducing oversprayand evaporationLow-volume systems also reduce or eliminate runoff on walksand paved areas, and overspray onto windows, pavement, andwalls. The Rain Bird Xerigation line of drip products offer a fullrange of water-saving choices for both turf and non-turflandscape applications, including control zone components,dripline, distribution components, emission devices and tools.Use of dripline is a preferred method in many low-volumeirrigation applications. Rain Bird’s XF Series Dripline hasin-line emitters that provide pressure compensation forprecise flow control throughout the zone. XF Series Driplineis made with advanced polymers that provide kink-resistanceand reduce coil memory for easier installation. With emitterflow rates of 0.4 GPH, 0.6, and 0.9 GPH ( 1.6 l/hr, 2.3 l/hr, and 3.4l/hr) and emitter spacing at 12”, 18” and 24” (0.30m, 0.45m and0.61m), the XF Series provides a full product line to meet theneeds of any application.The Rain Bird XF Series of dripline products consists of: XFD Dripline – for on-surface applications XFS Dripline with Copper Shield Technology– for all sub-surface applications XFCV Dripline – with Heavy Duty Check ValveFor complete performance and technical specifications, pleasesee Rain Bird’s Landscape Irrigation Products Catalog or visitRain Bird’s website at www.rainbird.com.

XF Series DriplineDesign, Installation and Maintenance GuideSection 1LEED LIBRARYDESIGN & TECHNICAL RESOURCESWHAT IS LEED?The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System is a point rating systemdevised by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) to evaluate the environmental performance of a buildingover its life cycle and to encourage market transformation towards sustainable design. LEED is the nationally recognizedbenchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high performance green buildings. LEED provides buildingowners and operators with the tools they need to have an immediate and measurable impact on their buildings’performance. LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in five key areasof human and environmental health: sustainable sites, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection, and indoorenvironmental quality.Detailed information on obtaining credits and the project certification process is available from the USGBC on theirwebsite: www.usgbc.org.WATER EFFICIENCY CREDIT 1.1WATER EFFICIENCY LANDSCAPING: Reduce by 50% 2 pointsIntentLimit or eliminate the use of potable water, or other natural surface water resources available on or near the project site,for landscape irrigation.RequirementsReduce potable water consumption for irrigation by 50% from a calculated mid-summer baseline case. Reductions shallbe attributed to any combination of the following items: Plant species factorIrrigation efficiencyUse of captured rainwaterUse of recycled wastewaterUse of water treated and conveyed by a public agency for non-potable uses.Rain Bird NotesThe designer on the LEED project will need to provide an irrigation plan and legend, as well as calculations, adescription of the baseline, and cut sheets of the irrigation system demonstrating how water consumption isreduced by 50%.Learn more at: brary.htmwww.rainbird.com5

XF Series DriplineDesign, Installation and Maintenance GuideSECTION 2:PREPARATION FOR DESIGNA dripline system when properly designed and installedwill deliver full irrigation coverage to the planted area. Adripline system is normally divided into zones. A typicalzone contains a water source, a control zone (valve, filter,and pressure regulator), and the dripline with connectionfittings.During the preparation for design you will gather essentialinformation to design the dripline system. Obtain or draw a scaled plan of the site to be irrigated Identify all of the slopes on the plan Determine the types of plants to be irrigated(groundcover, shrubs, turfgrass, and trees)Section 2Dripline system design follows many of the same rulesas spray and rotor design. Similar design factors mustbe considered, such as point of connection, static andoperating pressures, flow rates, and plant material. Identify the type of soil (Clay, Loam, Sand) Identify the type of water from the water source(potable, non-potable, well, surface water, etc) Identify static and operating pressures, and volumeavailable from the water sourceSUBSURFACE DRIPLINE SYSTEM LAYOUTwww.rainbird.com7

If the soil type is not known, or if thereis a good chance that there will be many different types of soil at the site, use the shortest distance between emitters androws from the table to be sure that the root zone is well irrigated. If there is heavy loam or clay subsoil, these soil types willreduce the downward flow of water in the soil and allow for wider lateral spacing between rows.TABLE 2: XF SERIES DRIPLINE RECOMMENDATION TABLESXF Series Dripline Recommendations (English)Soil TypeClayLoamEmitter Flow Rate (gallons per hour)0.4 gph0.6 gphEmitter Spacing24”18”Dripline Lateral Spacing18” - 24”16” - 22”Sand0.9 gph12”12”- 18”XF Series Dripline Recommendations (Metric)Soil TypeClayLoamEmitter Flow Rate (liters per hour)1.6 l/h2.3 l/hEmitter Spacing (meters)0.610.45Dripline Lateral Spacing (meters)0.45 - 0.610.41 - 0.56Sand3.4 l/h0.30.3 - 0.45Note: These are general guidelines, field conditions may require modification to emitter flow rate,emitter spacing and lateral spacing. XF Series Dripline is to be installed at a depth of 4”-6” (10.2-15.24cm) in sub-surface and groundcover applications. XF Series Dripline may also be installed on-surfaceunder mulch in shrub and groundcover applications.If you are not quite sure of the soil type, here is a test youcan use by squeezing the soil in your hand:Clay - When dry it forms hard clumps. When damp it isflexible and can be molded into shapes.Loam - A moderate sand or dirt and very little clay.When dry it breaks easily. When wet it forms a lump.Sand - Soil particles are loose, sandy grains. Whendry it will fall apart when you open your hand. Whendamp it will form a lump but it will crumble easilywhen touched.DRIP ZONE CALCULATORBy answering just a few short questions, you can quickly see the products we recommend, determine drip zone flow, maximumlateral run length, quantity of dripline required, the application rate and much more.

This is used to help select mainline,supply and flush headers, and control zone kit (valve, filter, and regulator). Multiply total dripline length in hundreds of feet by the flow per 100 feet for your specified dripline. This can be foundin Table 3. To read the table, select the emitter flow rate in the row across the top (0.4 GPH, 0.6 GPH, or 0.9 GPH / 1.6 L/Hr, 2.3, L/Hr, or 3.4 L/Hr) and then select the emitter spacing in the left column (12”, 18” or 24” / 0.30m, 0.46m or 0.61m).Follow emitter flow rate down and emitter spacing across to find the flow per 100 feet for the XF Series dripline specified. For example, for a zone that has 650 feet of 0.9 GPH (3.4 L/Hr) emitters and 18” (0.46m) emitter spacing, the calculationwould be 6.50 x 1.02 gpm 6.6 gpm for the zone. Supply lines and headers should be sized to provide the flow to the zone without exceeding 5 feet per second velocity.This can be done using the zone water requirement and referencing information on the appropriate piping located atwww.rainbird.com/reference or in the back reference section in the Rain Bird catalog.TABLE 4: DETERMINE MAXIMUM FLOW PER ZONEMaximum Flow Per Zone (English)Sch. 40 PVC Max.
