Rain Bird XFF-MA-075 barb adapter to ¾-inch M - insert fitting for 17 mm XF dripline

Adapter for 17 mm XF dripline

The Rain Bird XFF-MA-075 is a straight insert adapter for 17 mm Rain Bird XF Series Dripline featuring a ¾" male threaded connection. It allows compatible XF Dripline to be connected directly to an irrigation component with a suitable ¾" female thread.

The adapter combines a self-retaining 17 mm barb with a ¾" male thread in one compact fitting. This provides a straightforward transition between XF Dripline and threaded irrigation components without requiring several different adapters.

17 mm barb to ¾" male thread

One side of the XFF-MA-075 features a specially designed 17 mm barb for XF Dripline. The opposite side has a ¾" male threaded connection, officially specified by Rain Bird as ¾" MPT.

This makes the adapter particularly useful when transitioning from dripline to irrigation components with a ¾" female thread. Its straight configuration provides a compact and tidy connection within the irrigation system.

Designed for Rain Bird XF Dripline

The XFF-MA-075 is part of Rain Bird's range of 17 mm XF insert fittings. It is designed for compatible XF Series Dripline, including XFD Dripline and XFS Subsurface Dripline.

The adapter can therefore be used in both surface and subsurface drip irrigation installations. Its natural earth-tone appearance complements XF Dripline and helps the fitting remain unobtrusive in landscaped areas.

Secure self-retaining barb connection

The specially designed 17 mm barb provides a reliable grip on the dripline. At the same time, its profile is engineered to reduce the amount of force required when inserting the tubing.

No additional clamp is required within the specified normal operating pressure range. This makes it easy to integrate the XFF-MA-075 into a new irrigation system or add a ¾" threaded connection to an existing XF installation.

Simple installation without special tools

For installation, cut the dripline square and push the tubing completely onto the 17 mm barb. The polyethylene tubing should not be heated before installation, as heating can adversely affect the connection.

The ¾" male thread on the opposite side is connected to a compatible female threaded irrigation component. This provides a direct transition between XF Dripline and a threaded connection within your irrigation system.
