Good day!
I'm designing with the Rain Bird EMT-6XERI. I understand there are 6 outlets on this and they are free-flowing, so that I can attach an emitter downstream to restrict to the correct gallonage. The system wants me to pick based on XB-05PC, XB-10PC, or XB-20PC. My symbol reflects the gpm for one XB-10PC and five capped ports. I need to account in my design for a worst-case (and in this instance most-likely) scenario of all 6 ports operational with XB-10PC for each EMT-6XERI to ensure my laterals are sized adequately. What's the best way to make this adjustment, short of replacing the Land F/X item with a custom item with the correct gallonage?
Thanks,
Julie
Julie,
Sorry for the delayed response. Unless I am missing something, based on your attached image, it looks like the system is accounting for the worst case scenario already (1 GPH * 6 ports = 6 GPH / 60 min = .1 GPM). This is assuming you have set your equipment to a design pressure of 20 psi.

Is there something else you are hoping for the system to do?

I'm an idiot - got confused between the gpm and gph data. Sorry to waste your time.
