Rain Bird MANIFRE6S 6-Port Drip Manifold – Unregulated Free Flow

Overview

The Rain Bird MANIFRE6S is a rugged 6 port drip manifold designed to bridge a standard 1/2 inch riser with six individual 1/4 inch drip lines. It provides a streamlined way to water multiple zones in beds, containers, and landscape edges from a single supply. Constructed for outdoor use, it combines durability with flexible layout options, helping you tailor irrigation to plant needs and site conditions without heavy pipework.

Designed for reliability, this manifold uses UV and chemical resistant materials to withstand sun and soil contact. The bottom connection is a 1/2 inch female pipe thread that threads onto a standard 1/2 inch male riser, making it compatible with many existing installations. A self flushing action helps keep flow paths clear over time, reducing maintenance tasks and keeping water moving where you want it most.
