Rain Bird XB-10-6 Xeri-Bug black 4 l/h - 6-outlet distributor for micro tubing

Pressure-compensating 6-outlet Xeri-Bug

The Rain Bird XB-10-6 Xeri-Bug combines a pressure-compensating emitter with six outlets for micro tubing. This allows up to six plants or individual watering points to be supplied from a single connection. The black XB-10-6 has a nominal flow rate of 3.79 l/h, commonly rounded to approximately 4 l/h.

The 6-outlet distributor is particularly suitable for flower beds, shrubs, groups of plants, containers and other areas where several individual watering points need to be supplied from one central location. Compatible ¼" distribution tubing can be connected to the outlets and routed individually to each plant.

Connect up to six micro tubes

The XB-10-6 features a total of six outlets. Only one outlet is open when supplied. If additional connections are required, the closed tips of the remaining outlets can be clipped off using suitable scissors or clippers. This allows you to activate only the number of outlets actually required for your irrigation system.

¼" distribution tubing can be connected to the opened outlets. Rain Bird XQ micro tubing, including XQ-100 and XQ-1000, is particularly suitable. With approximately 4.3 mm inside diameter and 6.3 mm outside diameter, this tubing is commonly referred to as 4/6 mm micro tubing.

Consistent water delivery at approximately 4 l/h

The XB-10-6 is more than a simple distributor. A pressure-compensating Xeri-Bug emitter is integrated into the housing. Rain Bird specifies a nominal flow rate of 3.79 l/h or 1.0 GPH, which can conveniently be rounded to approximately 4 l/h in the product name.

Pressure compensation provides largely uniform water delivery throughout the specified operating pressure range of 1.0 to 3.5 bar. This makes the XB-10-6 particularly suitable for micro irrigation systems where several watering points need to be supplied reliably through one central distributor.

Self-flushing and suitable for outdoor use

The self-flushing design supports reliable operation and helps reduce the risk of deposits inside the emitter. Rain Bird specifies required filtration of 100 microns or 150 mesh for the XB-10-6.

The rugged plastic housing is UV-resistant and designed for long-term use in irrigation systems. The black color coding also makes the approximately 4 l/h XB-10-6 easy to distinguish from other flow variants in the Multi-Outlet Xeri-Bug range.

Easy installation in micro irrigation systems

The XB-10-6 features a barb inlet and can be installed directly into suitable drip or PE distribution tubing. The Rain Bird XM-TOOL Xeriman installation tool can be used for quick and convenient installation.

With six individually activated outlets, several micro tubes can be routed from one central point to individual plants. This reduces the number of separate connection points required on the larger distribution line and helps create a neat and organized micro irrigation system.

Frequently asked questions about the XB-10-6

How many micro tubes can be connected?

The Rain Bird XB-10-6 has six outlets, allowing up to six compatible ¼" distribution tubes to be connected and routed to different watering points.

Are all six outlets already open?

No. Only one outlet is open when supplied. The tips of the additional outlets can be clipped off with suitable scissors or clippers when required. This allows you to activate only the connections you actually need.

What is the flow rate of the XB-10-6?

Rain Bird specifies a nominal flow rate of 3.79 l/h or 1.0 GPH. This is commonly rounded to approximately 4 l/h in the product name.

Is the XB-10-6 simply a distributor?

No. The XB-10-6 incorporates pressure compensation and therefore combines the function of a Xeri-Bug emitter with a distributor for up to six micro tubes.

Is the XB-10-6 self-flushing?

Yes. Its self-flushing design supports reliable operation and helps reduce the risk of deposits inside the emitter.

Which micro tubing fits the XB-10-6?

The outlets are designed for ¼" distribution tubing, including Rain Bird XQ 4/6 mm micro tubing such as XQ-100 and XQ-1000.

What operating pressure does the XB-10-6 require?

Rain Bird specifies an operating pressure range of 1.0 to 3.5 bar. Within this range, pressure compensation supports largely uniform water delivery.

How is the XB-10-6 installed?

The barb inlet is inserted into suitable drip or PE distribution tubing. The Rain Bird XM-TOOL Xeriman can be used to make installation quick and convenient.
