White Tee Ball Valve Nipple

Product Overview

The SL-29 white tee ball valve nipple is a cross-shaped three-way fitting that combines a white engineering-plastic tee body with a red ball-valve nipple at the lower outlet. The two horizontal arms end in hose barbs, the vertical top carries a threaded port, and the red nipple with stainless pin provides on-demand drinking water. The ball-valve cartridge seals tightly after each drink, which keeps drips low on custom drinking circuits.

The tee spans 7 cm across the horizontal arms, stands about 5 cm tall from top port to cross center, and the second vertical arm also measures about 5 cm. The whole fitting weighs 10 g, light enough for small manifold builds. This shape is used where farms need to branch water lines and add a drinking point in one compact component, instead of assembling a tee plus a separate nipple.

Key Features and Benefits

• Three-Way Tee Body - the cross fitting branches water to two hose directions and adds a ball-valve drinking nipple at the lower outlet.
• Ball-Valve Shut-Off - the internal ball seats tightly when the bird releases the pin, giving a tighter closure than a basic spring nipple.
• Ridged Hose Barbs - the horizontal arms grip flexible drinking hose securely once small clamps are fitted, preventing accidental slips.
• Threaded Top Port - the vertical top accepts a standard connector or shut-off valve, making circuit building and maintenance straightforward.
• Stainless Steel Pin - the metal trigger resists beak wear and corrosion from drinking water, keeping actuation smooth over long flocks.
• Compact 10 g Build - the light body adds little weight to small manifolds and keeps fitting costs competitive.

Materials and Quality

The white tee body is molded from engineering plastic with smooth inner waterways that resist sediment buildup. The hose barbs are stepped to match common flexible hose diameters, and the top port wall is thickened for repeated connection. The red lower end houses the ball valve cartridge and stainless pin, assembled under clean workshop conditions.

Each fitting is pressure-checked for ball shut-off and visually sorted for complete molding and correct color. The plastic is selected for drinking-water contact, so it stays stable under normal water additives used on poultry farms.

The white tee body is drinking-water rated, and the lower ball-valve cartridge seals more tightly than a basic spring pin. The stepped barbs match common flexible hose diameters.

The white tee body is drinking-water rated, and the lower ball-valve cartridge seals more tightly than a basic spring pin, which helps keep the line dry. The stepped barbs match common flexible hose diameters, so standard clamps hold securely. Each fitting is pressure-checked for ball shut-off before packing, and finished pieces are visually sorted for complete molding. The plastic stays stable under normal water additives, so the tee works reliably on brooder circuits where medication is added during treatment periods.

How to Use and Maintain

Push flexible hose over the two ridged barbs and secure with small clamps, connect the water supply at the top port, and let the red nipple hang downward as the drinking point. Flush the circuit with clean water before first use to remove chips.

Rinse the tee and nipple after each flock, and press the pin periodically to confirm smooth movement. If the ball valve starts dripping, replace the red lower end rather than the whole tee, and check the hose clamps for tightness during routine walks.

Mount the tee so the red ball-valve outlet hangs vertically downward, because the ball seals by gravity when the buoy and line conditions are stable.

Flush circuits before first use and after each flock. If the ball valve drips, replace the red end rather than opening the sealed cartridge, and check hose clamps at the same time.

Applications

This tee nipple suits custom drinking circuits on brooders, breeding stations and compact cage setups where water must branch to two directions at once. It is also practical for retrofitting hose-based lines with an additional ball-valve drinking point.

Equipment builders use it when designing small manifolds, and distributors list it as a flexible connector for poultry projects. It pairs naturally with hanging cups, other tee fittings and float valves in mixed export accessory orders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the advantage of the ball valve over a spring nipple?

The ball seats tightly after each drink, which usually gives a lower drip rate and better litter control on the drinking line.

Q2: Which hose size fits the barbs?

The stepped barbs suit common flexible drinking hose; share your hose inner diameter for a precise match.

Q3: Can the red nipple end be replaced separately?

Yes, the ball-valve end can be exchanged without replacing the whole white tee body.

Q4: Is this fitting suitable for new manifold builds?

Yes, it is commonly used on custom brooder and cage-level manifolds; contact us with your layout for advice.
