Copper Integrated Rabbit Nipple Drinker

Product Overview

The SL-98 copper integrated rabbit drinking water device is a brass-bodied nipple drinker assembled with a white plastic hanger and a separate stainless steel return spring. When a rabbit nudges the stainless pin inside the brass cup, a small amount of water flows out, and the spring returns the pin to the closed position. The printed measurements on the image show a height of 3 cm and a piece weight of 7.8 g, with packing of 100 pieces per bag and 30 bags per export carton. The brass body resists the scaling and corrosion that plain steel nipples suffer in hard-water sheds, which is the main reason this style is preferred on commercial farms.

The integrated brass construction means the water passage, valve seat and outlet are all one metal body, rather than screwed-together parts that can loosen over time. The white plastic hanger clips the nipple onto the cage wire or pipe clamp, and the stainless spring sits between the hanger and the drinker so the pin returns cleanly after every lick. This photo shows the full kit with the spring detached for inspection, which is also how it is supplied for builders who prefer to assemble on site.

Key Features and Benefits

• Brass valve body - one-piece copper body resists scale, rust and ammonia corrosion in hard-water rabbit sheds.
• Stainless steel pin - the drinking pin stays smooth and non-toxic, so rabbits lick it without lip injury.
• Return spring included - the stainless spring snaps the pin closed after each lick, preventing overnight drips that soak bedding.
• White hanger clip - mounts the nipple directly on cage wire or a pipe clamp at the correct drinking height.
• Compact and light - 3 cm tall and 7.8 g per piece, easy to install row after row without weighing down the pipe.
• Export packing - 100 pieces per bag and 30 bags per carton, convenient for distributors and container loading.

Materials and Quality

The brass body is turned from solid stock, with a fine machined finish around the valve slot. The drinking pin is stainless steel and moves freely inside the brass bore, and the return spring is stainless wire that will not rust in the drinker area. The white hanger is moulded plastic that flexes to clip onto wire mesh. Every nipple is pressure tested for dripping before packing, because a leaking nipple ruins bedding and wastes water; packing into sealed bags keeps the brass bright until installation.

How to Use and Maintain

Clip the hanger onto the cage wire or a pipe clamp at nose height for the rabbits, connect the brass inlet to the 8 mm hose, and fit the stainless spring between the hanger and the drinker body. When the water line is first filled, flush it for a minute to push out metal chips. During weekly maintenance, press each pin by hand to check movement and clear any scale; in hard-water areas, add mild acid line treatments at the recommended intervals. If a nipple keeps dripping, replace the whole unit rather than the spring alone, since the brass body is the lasting part but seals are consumable.

Applications

This nipple drinker is the standard watering point in commercial rabbit breeding batteries, including does, fryers and growing rabbits. It suits farms on borehole or hard water where cheaper plastic nipples scale quickly, and it is also used in guinea pig, mink and other small-mammal housing where a metal nipple is preferred over open bowls. Distributors stock it by the carton for cage builders and farm maintenance teams.

Because the kit arrives with hanger and spring loose, it can be ordered alongside 8 mm hose, 20 mm or 25 mm pipe connectors and pipe clamps to build a complete row. Mixed cartons are common: a farm may take brass nipples, bowl dispensers and replacement springs in one container, which our sales team can help arrange. The loose spring also makes this listing useful as a service part: farms whose nipples already hang in place often buy bags of springs alone, since the spring is the first component to fatigue after years of daily licks. Because the brass body is rated for long service, keeping hanger and spring as spares is usually enough to keep a whole row running.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How is the nipple actuated?

Rabbits lick or nudge the hanging stainless pin, which opens the valve briefly. The stainless spring returns the pin to the closed position as soon as they release it.

Q2: Why choose a brass body instead of plastic?

Brass resists scale and corrosion from hard water and ammonia air, so the valve seat stays round and seals well over a long service life.

Q3: How are they packed for export?

100 pieces per bag and 30 bags per carton, meaning each carton contains 3000 nipples. This packing suits container loads and distributor shelf stock.

Q4: Do I need to assemble anything on site?

The hanger and spring are supplied separately from the brass body so they stay protected during transport; assembly on the cage takes a few seconds per nipple.
