Copper Integrated Rabbit Drinking Water Device

Product Overview

The SL-98 copper integrated rabbit drinking water device is a one-piece brass nipple designed for automatic rabbit watering in cage batteries. The rabbit contacts a small stainless pin, water releases in measured drops, and the built-in spring action closes the valve the moment the pin is released. The product image prints a height of 3 cm and a weight of 7.8 g per piece, and the standard packing is 100 pieces per bag with 30 bags per carton. Compared with open bowl drinkers, a nipple system uses far less water and keeps bedding dry, which directly cuts litter cost and improves cage hygiene.

The word integrated in the name refers to the brass body being machined as a single component: the top hose inlet, the valve chamber and the bottom outlet are all in one piece, so there are no joints that can work loose after years of water pressure. A white plastic hanger supports the nipple under the cage bar, and a stainless spring supplies the closing force. This listing photo is the standard product shot of the same unit, commonly used by cage builders and equipment buyers as the reference image when ordering spare nipples by the box.

Key Features and Benefits

• One-piece brass body - no threaded joints to loosen, giving a long service life under constant water pressure.
• Drip-controlled valve - releases only small drops per lick, saving water compared with open bowls.
• Dry bedding result - closed valve design means overnight drips stop, so litter stays dry and ammonia drops.
• Stainless pin and spring - moving parts resist rust, which keeps the valve free in humid sheds.
• White hanger clip - fast fitting to cage wire, with the nipple held exactly at animal nose height.
• Bulk export packing - 100 pieces per bag, 30 bags per carton, simplifying stock control and freight planning.

Materials and Quality

Brass is chosen because it holds a smooth valve seat under hard-water conditions and stays clean inside the water passage. The stainless pin slides without galling, and the spring returns with consistent force because its wire is stainless rather than plain steel. The white hanger is flexible plastic that grips standard cage wire without scratching the coating. Before shipment, each nipple is tested on a pressure rig so dripping units are removed, and pieces are sealed into bags to keep the brass from tarnishing in transit.

How to Use and Maintain

Fit the hanger to the cage wire, push the 8 mm hose onto the brass inlet, and hang the spring between the hanger and the body so the pin sits vertical. After installation, run water through the line and let a few rabbits test the nipples; adjust line pressure so each lick gives clear drops without splashing. Once a week, press every pin by hand to loosen scale and check the spring. In hard-water regions, descale the line seasonally, and always keep a few spare nipples on hand since a sealed unit is faster to replace than to repair.

Applications

These nipples go into commercial rabbit breeding cages, fryer batteries and doe sections where water must be delivered automatically. They are also a common replacement item on older farms that upgrade from bowl watering, and they fit any drinking line sized for 8 mm hose. Smaller hobby breeders often buy a single bag, while cage manufacturers order by the carton to build into new batteries.

The same nipple works in rows of identical cages, so installation is repetitive and fast: hang, connect hose, clip spring. Because the unit is small and uniform, maintenance teams can walk a row and swap any failing nipple in seconds, which keeps water loss low during busy breeding seasons. Cage builders also use this nipple as the standard reference when quoting a complete watering line, because its 3 cm height and 7.8 g weight make it easy to plan hose length, pipe bracket spacing and carton quantities. For export buyers, the carton count of 3000 nipples lines up neatly with rows of identical cages, so a single pallet often covers an entire new shed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What does integrated mean on this product?

The brass body is one machined piece, so the water inlet, valve and outlet share a single body instead of being screwed together. This removes the most common leak point in cheap nipples.

Q2: How much water does one nipple deliver per lick?

The valve is calibrated for small measured drops, enough for a rabbit to drink comfortably without splashing. Exact flow depends on your line pressure, which you can adjust at the manifold.

Q3: Can I use it on an existing 8 mm line?

Yes, the brass inlet is a standard push fit on 8 mm drinking hose, so it replaces most rabbit nipple brands of the same size.

Q4: How many nipples come in one carton?

There are 100 pieces per bag and 30 bags per carton, totalling 3000 nipples per export carton.
