Rain Bird IC System Design Manual page 12

5. If an individual branch exceeds 25% of the total Trunk wire length, that branch shall be designed
with the same gauge wire as the Trunk wire.
6. Other branches less than 25% can be designed with a wire size no more than 1 size smaller than
the Trunk wire size, minimum of 14 AWG (2.5 mm
If there is a question regarding a hybrid IC and Satellite wire path sizing, please contact your local Rain
Bird Representative or Rain Bird Distributor.
