PCD Pressure Compensating Dripline
Available in January 2024
Rain Bird PCD Dripline is pressure compensated allowing uniform flow throughout the zone. It accepts Rain Bird XF Dripline Insert Fittings, Easy Fit Compression Fittings, and other 17 mm barbed insert fittings.
Rain Bird’s low- profile emitter design reduces in-line pressure loss, allowing longer lateral runs, simplifying design and reducing installation time.
Features
Simple
Accepts Rain Bird XF Insert Fittings, Easy Fit Compression Fittings, 17mm insert fittings and LOC fittings
Laser etched information on the tube and emitter holes are easily found
Reliable
The pressure-compensating emitter design provides a consistent flow over the entire lateral length ensuring higher uniformity for increased reliability in the pressure range of 0.58 to 4.14 bar
The self-flushing PCD emitter quickly clears grit and debris assuring an uninterrupted supply of water
Durable
Dual-layered tubing (brown over black) provides unmatched resistance to chemicals, algae growth and UV damage

Specifications
The flexible polyethylene tubing shall have factory installed pressure-compensating, inline emitters installed every 33 centimeters. The flow rate from each installed inline emitter shall be 2.3 liters per hour when inlet pressure is between 0.58 and 4.14 bar.
The inline emitter shall have a pressure-regulating diaphragm with a spring action allowing it to self-rinse if there is a plug at the outlet hole. The inline emitter inlet shall be raised off the inside tube wall to minimize dirt intrusion. The PCD Series Dripline inline emitter tubing shall be manufactured by Rain Bird Corporation, Azusa, California.
