4 cm Copper Head Rabbit Drinking Device

Product Overview

The SL-112 four cm copper head rabbit drinking device is a nipple drinker built into a bright yellow pipe clamp. The yellow body snaps directly onto the drinking manifold, and at the lower end a brass or copper head with a stainless pin provides the actual drinking valve. The printed dimensions on the image show an overall length of 6.5 cm, a clip width of 2.5 cm and a piece weight of 10 g, with packing of 3000 pieces per bag. Because the clamp and nipple are combined in one piece, there is no separate hose run: the manifold sits at the cage front and each drinker points straight into the cage.

This style is called a copper head drinker because the valve tip is made of brass, a material that withstands hard water scaling better than all-plastic nipples. The yellow clamp body makes every drinker highly visible on the pipe, so a row inspection quickly spots a missing or replaced unit. It is widely used in commercial rabbit batteries where cage fronts are standardised and the drinking pipe runs horizontally along the row.

Key Features and Benefits

• Combined clamp and nipple - one part mounts directly on the manifold, no extra hose or connector needed.
• Brass valve head - the 4 cm copper head resists scale and gives a tight seal over long use.
• Stainless pin - smooth drinking pin that rabbits accept quickly and that does not rust.
• Bright yellow body - high visibility on the pipe for fast row checks and easier maintenance.
• Lightweight fit - 6.5 cm long and 10 g per piece, suitable for dense rows of cages.
• Bulk packing - 3000 pieces per bag, ready for large farm orders and distributor stock.

Materials and Quality

The clamp is moulded in bright yellow engineering plastic with a spring-like jaw that grips the manifold firmly. The copper head is threaded into the yellow body so it can be replaced separately if the valve wears out, and the stainless pin is free-moving inside the brass bore. A black sealing washer sits between the head and body, preventing leaks at the joint. Pieces are checked for jaw tension and pin movement before being bulk packed, and the yellow colour keeps units identifiable inside mixed spare-part stock.

How to Use and Maintain

Open the yellow clamp, hook it over the drinking pipe at the chosen cage position and press until the jaw clicks shut. The copper head should point into the cage at the rabbits nose height. After filling the line, flush it briefly to clear installation dust, then test each pin by hand. During routine service, press the pins to clear scale and inspect the black seal washer around the head; if a nipple drips after pressing, unscrew the brass head, clean the seat and seal, or replace the head as a spare part.

Applications

This clamp-on drinker is used in modern commercial rabbit batteries where the water pipe runs along the cage front and drinkers are spaced one per cage. It suits fryer cages, doe cages and growing pens of standard size, and it is popular with farm upgrade projects replacing old bowl or bottle systems. Because the unit clips straight onto the pipe, installation time per cage is minimal, which matters when a row holds dozens of identical cages.

Distributors and cage builders order it by the bag of 3000 pieces, since one bag covers a long row with spares left over. It is commonly shipped together with the matching drinking pipe, pipe end caps and pressure regulators in one container load, giving a complete automatic watering set for a new rabbit shed. Because the yellow clamp and brass head are a recognised combination in rabbit farming, this model is often used as a direct replacement for similar imported clamp-on nipples, which means farms can switch suppliers without changing their manifold or cage layout. The visible yellow body also helps during audits: inspectors can confirm at a glance that every cage has a drinker, with none missing. Rows are therefore quicker to walk and easier to document for farm hygiene records.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Does it need a separate hose connection?

No. The yellow clamp grips the manifold directly and the copper head feeds water from the pipe, so this style needs no branch hose or connector.

Q2: How long is the whole unit?

The overall length is 6.5 cm, with a clip width of 2.5 cm and a weight of 10 g per piece. The brass valve head itself is a 4 cm copper head.

Q3: What does one bag contain?

One bag holds 3000 pieces. This bulk packing suits large commercial farms and distributors rather than single-cage hobby users.

Q4: Can the brass head be replaced separately?

Yes, the copper head screws into the yellow clamp body. If the valve seat wears out, the head can be unscrewed and swapped without replacing the whole clamp.
