Rain Bird's agricultural line centres on the GritX dripline family — built for water with grit in it, which is most surface and recycled supply — plus the XFD and XFS ranges for on-surface and subsurface work. Filters, control valves and PRS pressure-regulating stems complete the head end.
GritX is worth specifying where water quality is the limiting factor rather than layout. If you are pumping from a pond or a recycling basin, start here.
Rain Bird call it the most flexible pressure-compensating inline emitter tubing made — it lies into ground cover, dense plantings and hedge rows without fighting the curve. The low-profile emitter cuts in-line pressure loss, so laterals run longer
Every emitter carries a 4.3 psi check valve, holding the line charged across elevation changes of more than ten feet — Rain Bird say the highest hold-back in the industry. Keeps Copper Shield root protection as well, so a sloping bed does not drain down to the bottom emitters after every cycle
Rain Bird calls it a workhorse for nursery use — greenhouse, nursery, can yards and climate control. Delrin plastic, trip collars adjust 20°–360°, patented Precision-Jet S-tube stops side splash, five colour-coded Quick Fit nozzles. Good grit and chemical resistance for dirty water
Snap-fit nozzles and deflectors assemble and clean without tools. Reversible dual-pattern deflector flips to change the wetted area as the crop matures. 150-mesh filtration recommended. Ships factory-assembled or as loose components
18–31 ft (5.5–9.4 m) — LFX300 18–25 ft, LFX600 22–31 ft
Best for
Rain Curtain technology for even distribution and gentle close-in watering that will not wash out media. Snap-fit brake assemblies and nozzles change without tools. Optional flow-control (FC) nozzles hold output steady as pressure varies — LFX300 at 0.35 / 0.43 / 0.50 gpm, LFX600 at 0.75 / 1.00 gpm. Snap-on edge guard and stream splitters available
Modular commercial controller with a large display and a hand/off/auto dial. Non-volatile memory keeps the schedule and a lithium coin cell holds time and date through an outage, so a power cut does not cost you the programme. English and Spanish
The practical mid-range Rain Bird controller, indoor or outdoor rated, with Wi-Fi available through the LNK module rather than built in — so the cost only lands if the site wants it
Fits ESP-Me, ESP-ME3, ESP-TM2, RZXe, ESP-LXME2 and ESP-LXIVM
Best for
Adds Wi-Fi and app control to a controller already installed — six model families supported, so an existing site can go remote without new hardware in the cabinet
The regulator lives inside the spray body stem rather than upstream, so every head is individually regulated to 30 psi — no misting from over-pressure at the near end of a zone
