Six Minute Spring Big and Small Nipple

Product Overview

The SL-22 is an orange clip-on nipple made specifically for six-minute vertical drinking pipe. Its wide two-wing orange clip grips that pipe size, the red lower cartridge carries a spring ball valve, and a steel trigger pin hangs below for the birds. The model ships in big-pin and small-pin options, so the same clip body covers both young growers and adult stock, which cuts the number of spare SKUs a distributor must carry.

The unit stands 6.5 cm tall and spans 3 cm across the clip, at 10 g each. Nudging the pin opens the spring ball; releasing it closes the outlet. Small-bag packing of 100 pieces suits maintenance teams and trial orders, while big projects can stack bags by the carton. Farms on six-minute pipe often run several drinking lines per house, and the 10 g unit weight keeps those lines manageable when staff raise or lower them during brooding.

Key Features and Benefits

• Six-Minute Pipe Specialist - orange wings are shaped to grip six-minute vertical ports firmly, better than universal clips on this pipe size.
• Two Pin Sizes Available - small pin for growers, big pin for adults, all on the same clip body.
• Spring Ball Return - an internal spring reseats the ball after each peck, limiting drips between visits.
• Steel Trigger Pin - the metal contact point resists beak wear and stands up to water additives.
• Orange and Red Color Split - the bright clip remains visible on white pipe during line walks.
• 100 Pieces Per Bag - handy repair-kit size that avoids opening a full export carton.

Materials and Quality

Orange wings use a living-hinge plastic tuned to the six-minute port, and the red base houses a spring chosen for even return force across the batch. The trigger pin is steel for wear resistance.

Wing grip is sampled on six-minute pipe before each release, and every nipple gets a pin-movement and shut-off test before bagging. Visual sorting removes any piece with molding gaps.

The orange clip is sampled for opening force so installers feel the same snap on every unit. The red base is sealed against dust, and the steel pin runs through a guide that keeps it centered under the pecking zone. Pin variants are bagged separately at the factory, so the label on each bag tells installers whether they hold big or small pins. Visual sorting catches pieces with incomplete molding, and the 100-piece bags are weighed at the pack house so counts arrive accurate. The spring return force is spot-checked on sample nipples before carton sealing.

How to Use and Maintain

Open the orange wings, press onto the six-minute port, release until seated, and check the red base hangs vertical. Flush the line before first use to clear chips and sediment.

Press pins weekly through the flock; if several feel stiff, flush the whole run. Keep each pin variant in its own labeled bag so replacements match the bird stage on that section of line.

At placement, choose pin size to match the bird stage on that line: small pins for starter rooms, big pins for grow-out and adult houses. Document the choice on the line plan so future maintenance orders replace with the same variant. Keep a labeled working tin of each pin variant near the line during maintenance, so a swap takes seconds and the flock is never left waiting.

Applications

Broiler and layer farms on six-minute vertical pipe are the core users, and the two pin sizes let one SKU cover chick, grower and adult needs on the same farm. The same farm may run small-pin nipples in the brooder section and big-pin nipples in the finishing section, all on identical six-minute pipe. Retrofit crews also use it on older six-minute lines when worn nipples need exchanging, and the orange clip color helps them spot replaced units during later audits.

Retrofit crews fit it on older six-minute lines, and distributors stock it as a routine replacement. It also suits small farms that build their own drinking lines from six-minute pipe, because the clip needs no special tools. It ships well alongside hanging cups, tees and float valves in mixed export orders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Big pin or small pin, which do I pick?

Small pin suits growers; big pin suits adult layers and broilers. Big pins deliver a stronger actuation feel for heavier beaks, while small pins are lighter for young beaks still learning the motion.

Q2: Which pipe does the clip fit?

Six-minute vertical drinking pipe is the target; if your outer diameter differs, share a measurement so we can suggest the closest clip model.

Q3: How many per bag?

100 pieces per bag as printed on the product label; larger projects can order cartons made up of multiple bags.

Q4: Can I mix pin sizes in one order?

Yes, split quantities are welcome; tell us the big-to-small ratio you need and your destination port, and we will pack them as separate labeled bags.
