4 Point Long Rabbit Drinking Device

Product Overview

The SL-114 4 point long rabbit drinking device is a yellow nipple drinker with an extended plastic body between the pipe clamp and the brass valve head. Where a standard clamp-on nipple puts the drinking pin right next to the pipe, this longer body pushes the pin out toward the cage front. That extra reach matters when the drinking manifold is set back behind the cage wire, behind a feed trough, or in a double-row battery where cages face each other. The image prints a piece weight of 10 g, and the unit shares the same yellow clamp and brass pin design as the standard copper-head range.

The long body is moulded as one yellow tube, hollow on the inside so water travels from the clamp down to the brass head at the tip. The stainless pin at the bottom opens the valve when the rabbit licks it, and the spring-return action closes it again. Farmers choose this version when their cage layout leaves a gap between pipe and cage door, because reaching that gap with a short nipple or a separate hose introduces leak points. A single extended unit solves the geometry with one part.

Key Features and Benefits

• Extended body reach - the long yellow tube carries the brass head out to the cage front without separate hoses.
• Brass valve head - copper tip resists hard-water scaling and seals reliably after thousands of licks.
• Stainless drinking pin - smooth and rust-free, comfortable for rabbits and easy to inspect.
• Same yellow clamp - snaps onto the standard drinking pipe, matching the farm's existing nipple style.
• Lightweight - 10 g per piece, so a whole row of extended nipples adds little load.
• Fewer leak points - one solid body replaces clamp plus hose plus connector, cutting dripping risk.

Materials and Quality

The long yellow body is moulded as a single hollow tube, so there is no internal joint along the reach section. The clamp jaw at the top is the same flexible yellow plastic used across the range, and the brass head screws into the tube end with a sealing washer. The stainless pin moves freely in the brass bore, and the spring action returns it cleanly. Because the extended body puts a little more distance between the animal and the pipe, the plastic wall is moulded to stay rigid rather than floppy, keeping the pin at a constant height.

How to Use and Maintain

Clip the top jaw onto the drinking pipe at the cage position, then rotate the unit so the brass pin points into the cage at nose height. After installation, flush the line briefly and test each pin by hand. During maintenance rounds, press the pins to clear scale and check that the long body is not cracked from cage-bump impact; extended nipples take more knocks because they project further. If the brass head starts to drip, unscrew it, clean the seal and seat, or fit a replacement head. Keep spare units in the shed office because a cracked body must be replaced whole.

Applications

This extended drinker suits double-row rabbit batteries, cages with a trough between pipe and door, and retrofit rows where the new pipe cannot be moved close to the cage wire. It is also used in denser commercial installations where nipple spacing must match cage spacing exactly, rather than pipe spacing. Distributors sell it alongside the standard 4 cm and 6 cm copper-head versions, so farms can mix lengths on the same manifold for different cage models.

For export buyers, the long-body version is commonly ordered in the same container as standard nipples, pipe, end caps and pressure regulators. The one-piece design means fewer components to inventory, and the visible yellow body makes it easy for maintenance staff to spot which units belong to which row style. Because the extended tube pushes the pin out but leaves the clamp in the same position, farmers can reuse their existing pipe brackets and simply swap the nipple body when they redesign a cage row.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: When do I need the long body version?

Use it when the drinking pipe sits back from the cage wire, for example behind a trough or in a double-row battery, and a short nipple would leave the pin out of reach.

Q2: How is it installed?

The yellow top clips directly onto the drinking pipe. No hose or extra connector is used; water travels through the hollow yellow tube to the brass head.

Q3: Does the long body bend or break easily?

The tube is moulded as one rigid piece and weighs 10 g. In normal cages it is durable, but it should be inspected if animals knock it repeatedly, since a cracked body leaks.

Q4: Can I mix it with standard nipples on one pipe?

Yes, the clamp size matches the same manifold, so standard and long-body nipples can be placed on the same row wherever the cage layout calls for each type.
