Rain Bird XFD100 XF Blank Tubing — 100-Foot Coil
Brand: Rain Bird | SKU: XFD100
Product Overview
Carry water between planting areas or place separate emission devices where the plants need them with Rain Bird XFD100. This 100-foot coil is blank XF tubing, so there are no factory-installed emitters or fixed outlet spacing. Its dimensions match XF dripline for compatible connections between blank and emitter tubing.
Key Features
- Blank tubing with no factory-installed emitters.
- Flexible construction follows narrow beds and curved layouts.
- Brown outer color blends with mulch and XF inline emitter tubing.
- Dual-layer tubing helps resist UV exposure, algae growth and chemicals.
Common Uses
- Routing a supply section between compatible XF dripline areas.
- Layouts using separately selected emission devices instead of fixed factory emitter spacing.
- Connecting planting sections through areas where a blank tube is needed.
Technical Specifications
- Merchant SKU: XFD100; manufacturer model: XFD-100.
- Type: XF Series blank tubing; no built-in emitters or fixed emitter spacing.
- Color: brown.
- Compatible fitting families: XF Dripline Insert Fittings, appropriate Rain Bird Easy Fit Compression Fittings and approved 17mm insert fittings.
- Rain Bird states this tubing is not compatible with 16mm fittings.
- Manufacturer-specified bend radius: 3 inches in either direction relative to the coil’s natural curve.
- Flow through the tube depends on the connected devices and layout; blank tubing has no per-emitter flow rating.
Dimensions
- Tubing length: 100 feet per coil.
- Tubing outside diameter: 0.634 inch (16.1 mm).
- Tubing inside diameter: 0.536 inch (13.6 mm).
- Wall thickness: 0.049 inch.
Compatibility & Installation Notes
Check actual tubing dimensions and approved fitting compatibility. This tubing is commonly described by nominal sizes; neither a generic 1/2-inch label nor the measured OD alone guarantees a fitting match.
Select any separate emitters, outlet tubing, filtration and pressure control needed for the design. Blank tubing does not meter water or regulate pressure by itself.
Use the blank-tubing friction-loss chart to check pressure loss at the intended total flow and run length. Do not apply emitter-dripline lateral tables as a substitute for a blank supply-run calculation.
Flush before connecting outlets and retain accessible flushing points. Avoid kinks; do not heat polyethylene tubing to install barbed XF fittings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does XFD100 have built-in emitters?
No. It is blank tubing. Add suitable emission devices separately if the layout needs watering outlets.
Is XFD100 the same as XFD0912100?
No. Both are 100-foot coils, but XFD100 is blank. XFD0912100 has 0.9 GPH factory emitters at 12-inch spacing.
Will 16mm insert fittings fit?
Rain Bird states that XFD100 is not compatible with 16mm fittings. Use approved XF or 17mm insert fittings, or an appropriate compatible compression fitting.
How do I size a blank supply run?
Calculate the connected outlet demand and use the XF blank-tubing friction-loss chart for the flow and length. The tubing itself has no fixed emitter rate.
Why Buy from Big Frog Supply?
Choose XFD100 when you need a blank section or want to place separate outlets rather than accept fixed 12-inch emitter spacing. Its 0.634-inch OD and 0.536-inch ID match XF tubing dimensions, while the specified fitting families help check connections to the rest of the layout. Use the blank-tubing pressure-loss chart when sizing the supply run.
