XBD80 is the configurable base unit with filter and removable port plugs; select its emitters separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIs 1 GPH the total flow for all eight outlets?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Each supplied emitter is rated at a nominal 1 GPH. With all eight operating, their nominal combined demand is 8 GPH.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDoes it regulate the supply pressure?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Pressure regulation is a separate option.

The 1\/4-inch tubes then carry the metered water from the lower outlets to the plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Buy from Big Frog Supply?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose XBD81 when you want eight 1 GPH emitters already installed rather than building out an XBD80 from separate emitters. The top-serviceable 200-mesh filter and removable union-base body help with maintenance, while the eight individual internal ports let you change a plant’s flow without changing every outlet. Match the riser connection and plan the separate tubing runs before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How is XBD81 different from XBD80?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"XBD81 includes eight factory-installed 1 GPH emitters.
