Pressure-compensated emitter, flow rate 2 l/h: blue (XB-05PC) X68525

Precise irrigation with pressure compensation

This emitter from Rainbird, model XB-05PC (catalog number X68525), is a key element of an efficient irrigation system. It provides a uniform water flow at different levels of terrain, even with varying pressure in the installation. It is an ideal solution for irrigating hedges, trees, shrubs and potted plants – where precision matters.

Construction and operation

The self-piercing, pressure-compensating emitter is designed to deliver exactly 2 liters of water per hour. The pressure compensation mechanism maintains a constant flow regardless of pressure fluctuations in the installation, which translates to even watering of all plants. In addition, the built-in self-flushing mechanism minimizes the risk of the emitter clogging, ensuring its long-lasting and trouble-free operation. This is particularly useful in the case of poorer quality water or in places exposed to contamination.

Advantages for the installer and user

• Even irrigation: Pressure compensation eliminates problems related to height and pipe length differences, guaranteeing identical watering of each plant.
• Water saving: Precise flow of 2 l/h allows for optimal use of water resources and cost reduction.
• Low failure rate: The self-flushing mechanism reduces the risk of the emitter clogging, minimizing the need for maintenance and replacement.
• Easy installation: Compact dimensions and standard connectors make it easy to install the emitter in existing irrigation systems.
• Durability: Made of high-quality materials resistant to corrosion and mechanical damage – ensures long-term use.
• Precise dosing: Delivers water directly to the root zone of plants, which promotes their healthy growth and development.
