Rain Bird : The new QF Dripline Header

The QF Dripline Header is a patent pending product that is the landscape industry’s first pre-fabricated header for dripline installations. A Quick and Flexible replacement for a site-built header, the QF Dripline Header saves on the cost of time and labor.

Using a proprietary blend of polyethylene similar to Rain Bird’s XF Series Dripline, the QF Dripline header allows installers to simply roll out the main line and attach the dripline at guaranteed 30 cm or 45 cm spacing. Eliminating the need for measuring, cutting, gluing and taping, the QF Dripline Header saves time and money, making projects more profitable. The QF Dripline Header barbs rotate 360º and incorporate a protective ring that surrounds the barb – preventing damage and ensuring a proper seal. The ring also provides leverage to make attaching the dripline easier. The rotating barb also manages trenching misalignment. Move left or right to accommodate the dripline – no need to re-trench. Barbs utilize the same design as Rain Bird’s popular XFF Fitting and require 50% less insertion force than competitive products. It also accommodates the XFF Fittings Tool. Using the same reliable self-dispensing coil as other XF Series Dripline tubing, the QF Header lays straight when uncoiled and is easy to install around non-linear landscape features. It bends to a 15” radius without becoming damaged or bent.
