Product Description
-------------------
Rain Bird SSF70-50S Drip Irrigation Pressure Compensating 1/2"
(0.700" outside diameter) Sub-Surface Emitter Tubing with Copper
Shield Technology, 18" Emitter Spacing, 50' Roll, Copper colored.
Rain Bird's patented Copper Shield Technology prevents
roots from growing into the Drip emitters in this unique
copper-colored 1/2" Drip tubing. "The Copper-Color Outside
Ensures that the Copper Shield is Inside!" Patent-pending Copper
Shield Technology is the latest innovation in the Rain Bird Drip
Irrigation family protecting emitters from root intrusion for a
long-lasting maintenance free system. Sub-surface Drip tubing
provides 90% watering efficiency by irrigating s directly at
their roots with low-pressure emitters. Rain Bird's patented
emitter design uses a pressure-compensating diaphragm technology
to water all s equally throughout the length of tubing. The
design avoids clogging by continuously flushing debris through an
extra-wide turbulent flow path. The low-profile emitter reduces
in-line pressure loss; allowing longer lateral runs to simplify
system design and reduce installation time. The 50' roll of 1/2"
tubing features an emitter every 18" with an output of 0.9
gallon-per-hour at an operating pressure of 8.5 to 60 psi. Rain
Bird's copper colored dual-layered tubing (copper over black)
provides unmatched durability and resistance to UV damage,
s and algae growth. A proprietary material blend provides
industry leading flexibility allowing tighter turns with fewer
elbows for fast and easy installation. Perfect for small, narrow
and tight ing areas, as well as areas with tight curves or
many switchbacks. Compact coiling method allows tubing to remain
coiled as its extracted; making it easy to use, store and
eliminates waste. Unique Micro-Porous design creates an
ultra-tight connection; tubing expands over fittings then shrinks
making it almost impossible to remove without cutting. The
resulting seal is completely leak-proof and fittings won’t pull
out; just cut tubing to remove fittings and expand. Tubing
accepts Rain Bird Easy Fit Compression, Barbed Insert and all
other 17mm barbed insert fittings. Specifications: outside
diameter 0.700", inside diameter 0.580", wall thickness 0.060".
Operating pressure: 8.5 to 60 psi. Flow rate: 0.9 GPH. Rain Bird
