Rain Bird PVC valve fitting 1320-010 - union cross fitting - 1-inch

Cross fitting for Rain Bird valve manifolds

The Rain Bird RB1320-010 is a PVC cross fitting designed for the flexible construction of valve manifolds in automatic irrigation systems. With a total of four connections, it allows you to create a compact valve assembly and connect multiple components of the Rain Bird PVC manifold system.

The cross fitting belongs to the Rain Bird RB1300 Series and features one 1-inch female connection, one 1-inch male connection and two lateral 1-inch male valve connections.

Two connections for irrigation valves

The two lateral 1-inch male threads are designed for compatible irrigation valves with 1-inch female threads. This allows two irrigation valves to be connected directly to the cross fitting without requiring additional couplings between the valves and manifold.

The cross fitting is particularly suitable for compact valve assemblies where several irrigation zones need to be combined inside a valve box.

Telescoping system for easy valve replacement

The Rain Bird PVC manifold system features a telescoping design. This allows irrigation valves with different installation lengths to be replaced without cutting the existing pipework or adding additional connection parts.

The appropriate connections can be loosened for maintenance. This simplifies the removal and installation of individual irrigation valves and makes the complete valve assembly easier to service.

Easy installation with large O-rings

Large O-rings provide reliable sealing of the system connections. The components of the Rain Bird manifold system are designed for simple hand-tightened installation.

No additional Teflon tape is required on the designated O-ring-sealed connections. This makes it easy to install the valve assembly and to dismantle or expand it later if required.

Frequently asked questions about the Rain Bird RB1320-010

Which connections does the RB1320-010 have?

The cross fitting has one 1-inch female connection, one 1-inch male connection and two lateral 1-inch male connections for compatible irrigation valves.

How many irrigation valves can be connected directly?

The RB1320-010 provides two lateral 1-inch male connections. Two compatible irrigation valves with 1-inch female threads can therefore be connected directly.

Can the cross fitting be installed inside a valve box?

Yes. The RB1320-010 is particularly suitable for creating compact and modular irrigation valve assemblies inside a valve box.

Is Teflon tape required for the system connections?

No additional Teflon tape is required on the designated O-ring-sealed connections of the Rain Bird PVC manifold system.

What is the maximum operating pressure?

Rain Bird specifies a maximum operating pressure of 10.5 bar for the PVC manifold system.
