Rain Bird A16140MX Pressure Compensating Bubbler 2.0 Gpm

Product DescriptionThe RAIN BIRD A16140MX is a pressure compensating bubbler designed for low-volume drip and bubbler irrigation systems. It delivers a steady 2.0 gallons per minute (GPM) output regardless of fluctuating line pressure, keeping flow consistent across zones. The 1/2 inch female iron pipe thread (FIPT) inlet makes it straightforward to connect to standard threaded fittings on a manifold or riser. Irrigation technicians and landscape professionals install this bubbler in tree rings, shrub beds, and planters where controlled, low-turbulence water delivery is required. The pressure compensating design reduces the need for flow adjustments when system pressure varies across a site.This bubbler is suited for residential and commercial landscape irrigation applications. It works in drip and micro-irrigation zones where water must be delivered at grade level rather than sprayed. Typical installations include tree basins, large shrub beds, and raised planters connected to a standard 1/2 inch threaded riser or manifold outlet. It is commonly used by irrigation contractors and landscape maintenance professionals maintaining water-efficient irrigation systems.Key FeaturesPressure compensating design maintains consistent 2.0 GPM output across varying line pressures1/2 inch FIPT inlet threads directly onto standard risers and manifold outletsLow-volume delivery keeps water at grade, reducing runoff and oversprayCompact, lightweight form factor at 0.02 pounds for easy handling and installationSold in single-unit increments for flexible orderingCompatibilityDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade component for standard 1/2 inch threaded drip and bubbler irrigation systems.Installation NotesInstallation is performed by qualified irrigation technicians or licensed landscape contractors.
