Compatibility & Installation Notes
Connect the bubbler spike to compatible 1/4-inch distribution tubing and use the included barb coupler at the supply connection. The manufacturer installation detail shows this arrangement supplied from suitable polyethylene tubing.
Provide appropriate filtration and pressure control for the drip system, then adjust with water running. Check the actual wetting pattern at the plant; this adjustable bubbler does not deliver a fixed pressure-compensated emitter rate.
For cleaning, shut off water and fully unscrew the cap from the base. Refit the cap and check the adjustment after cleaning.
Select UXB360SPYK for the umbrella pattern. The separate SXB models produce individual streams; the threaded UXB-360 and barb-only UXB-360-025 are different mounting options.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the maximum flow 35 GPM or 35 GPH?
It is 35 GPH at 30 psi: gallons per hour. The maximum depends on inlet pressure and the cap setting.
Does it produce eight individual streams?
No. UXB360SPYK produces a full-circle umbrella pattern. The SXB-360 family uses eight individual streams.
How does it connect to the system?
The spike assembly connects to compatible 1/4-inch distribution tubing and includes a barb × barb coupler for the supply connection.
Is the 2-foot coverage figure a radius?
No. At 30 psi, Rain Bird’s performance chart lists an adjustable wetted diameter up to 2 feet. Actual coverage depends on pressure and adjustment.
Why Buy from Big Frog Supply?
Choose UXB360SPYK when a small umbrella pattern suits the plant better than separate streams. Its spike and included barb coupler support a 1/4-inch tubing layout, while the 35 GPH maximum and 2-foot maximum wetted diameter at 30 psi help check water demand and planting-space fit before ordering.
