Rain Bird C-12 brown tie-down stakes for 13-16 mm PE tubing - pack of 20

Tie-down stake for 13–16 mm PE tubing

The brown Rain Bird C-12 tie-down stake securely holds PE tubing, dripline and distribution tubing with a diameter of 13 to 16 mm in place at ground level. It helps prevent the tubing from moving or lifting and provides a neat installation throughout your drip irrigation system.

The stakes are particularly useful for above-ground dripline installations in planting beds, hedges, landscaped areas and around shrubs, helping maintain the desired tubing layout.

Secure dripline at ground level

The C-12 is positioned over the tubing and then pushed into the soil. Its curved tubing holder keeps the line close to the ground without requiring additional clamps or fastening components.

Several stakes can be distributed along the tubing. This helps keep longer sections neatly routed and provides additional support around curves and changes in direction.

For tubing from 13 to 16 mm

Rain Bird specifically lists the C-12 for tubing with a diameter of 13 to 16 mm. This makes the stake suitable for various PE tubes as well as compatible dripline and distribution tubing used in garden irrigation systems.

The C-12 can be used to secure Rain Bird dripline and compatible distribution tubing. When using tubing from other manufacturers, check the actual outside diameter before installation.

Brown finish for discreet installation

The stake is made from brown plastic. This allows it to blend naturally with soil, mulch and planted areas and makes it considerably less noticeable than light-colored fastening components.

This is particularly useful for above-ground dripline installations. Both the tubing and its fastening points can be routed between plants and partially concealed beneath mulch if required.

Quick installation without tools

No special tools are normally required for installation. Position the PE tubing or dripline as required, place the C-12 over the tubing and push the stake into the soil.

Several stakes should be used along longer tubing runs. Additional fastening points are particularly useful around bends, changes in direction and areas where the natural tension of the tubing causes it to lift away from the ground.

Frequently asked questions about the Rain Bird C-12

What tubing diameter is the C-12 designed for?

Rain Bird specifies the C-12 for tubing with a diameter of 13 to 16 mm. It is therefore suitable for various PE tubes, dripline and distribution tubing within this size range.

Can I use it with 16 mm dripline?

Yes. Tubing with a diameter of 16 mm is within Rain Bird's specified 13–16 mm range and can be secured at ground level with the C-12.

Can I use the C-12 with Rain Bird XF Dripline?

The C-12 is designed for tubing within the 13–16 mm size range and can therefore be used with appropriately sized Rain Bird dripline. Check the specified outside diameter of the particular tubing before installation.

How is the C-12 installed?

The stake is positioned over the installed tubing and pushed into the soil. It holds the tubing close to ground level and helps prevent it from moving out of position.

How many stakes do I need?

The required number depends on the tubing layout and soil conditions. Wider spacing may be sufficient along straight sections, while bends, changes in direction and areas where the tubing tends to lift usually benefit from additional stakes.

Why is the C-12 brown?

The brown finish helps the stake blend naturally with soil, mulch and planted areas, making it particularly suitable for visible above-ground drip irrigation installations.
