6 cm Copper Head Rabbit Drinking Device

Product Overview

The SL-113 six cm copper head rabbit drinking device is a pipe-clamp nipple with an orange plastic body and a longer brass valve head. The orange clip snaps directly onto the drinking manifold, and the 6 cm brass tube carries the stainless drinking pin down into the cage. Printed dimensions on the image show an overall length of 6.5 cm, a clip width of 3 cm and a piece weight of 12 g, bulk packed at 3000 pieces per bag. The longer brass head is the main difference from the 4 cm copper-head model: it pushes the pin further from the pipe, which is useful when the cage front sits a little way off the manifold.

The orange clamp body is rigid and springy, designed to grip standard drinking pipe without tools, while the brass head screws into the body with a sealing washer. A black seal is visible between the orange body and the brass tube, preventing leaks at the joint. Because the head itself is brass, the valve seat resists hard water scaling far better than plastic-bodied nipples, and the stainless pin stays smooth against the rabbit tongue. This combination of a long metal reach and a quick pipe clip is common in commercial rabbit batteries with fixed pipe runs.

Key Features and Benefits

• 6 cm brass head - longer reach pushes the drinking pin further into the cage from the pipe.
• Orange clamp body - clips onto the manifold by hand, no hose or connector required.
• Stainless pin - smooth, rust-free actuating element that seals on spring return.
• Visible seal washer - the black seal shows any compression problem at a glance during inspection.
• Lightweight build - 6.5 cm overall and 12 g per piece, suitable for dense cage rows.
• Bulk bag packing - 3000 pieces per bag, ready for large farm and distributor orders.

Materials and Quality

The orange clamp is moulded in rigid plastic with a formed jaw that springs shut over the pipe. The brass head is turned from solid stock, with a knurled ring where it screws into the orange body, and a black sealing washer sits between the two. The stainless pin moves freely in the brass bore. Each unit is pressure tested for dripping before packing, and the bright orange colour keeps these long-head nipples visually distinct from the yellow 4 cm version on the same farm, reducing mix-ups during spare-part replacement.

How to Use and Maintain

Open the orange jaw, hook it over the drinking pipe at the desired cage position, and press until the clamp clicks shut. Point the brass pin into the cage at the rabbit nose height. After installation, flush the line briefly and test the pin by hand. During weekly service, press the pin to clear scale and inspect the black seal; if water weeps at the brass joint, unscrew the head, replace or reposition the seal and retighten. In hard-water sheds, descale the line seasonally so the valve seat stays clean.

Applications

This long-head clamp nipple suits commercial rabbit batteries where the pipe runs along a standoff bracket a few centimetres from the cage wire. It is also used in mixed rows where some cages need the standard 4 cm head and others, offset by a trough or feeder, need the longer 6 cm head. Because both models share the same clamp, farmers can stock one pipe system and choose the head length per cage.

Distributors order it by the bag of 3000 for cage builders and by the carton for export. It is commonly loaded together with drinking pipe, end caps, pressure regulators and the shorter copper-head version, forming a complete automatic watering package for a new rabbit shed. The orange clamp body also makes these long-head nipples visually distinct from the yellow short-head models on the same farm, so maintenance staff can tell at a glance which reach they are dealing with without measuring. Because the brass head is screwed rather than glued, it can be unscrewed and cleaned inside after years of hard-water use, extending the working life of the orange clamp body.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What does the 6 cm refer to?

The 6 cm is the length of the brass valve head, which pushes the stainless pin further from the pipe than the 4 cm copper-head model. Overall unit length is 6.5 cm.

Q2: How do I know if the seal is failing?

Water weeping around the black washer between the orange body and brass head means the seal needs attention. Unscrew the head and reset or replace the washer.

Q3: How is it packed?

3000 pieces per bag. This bulk size is aimed at commercial farms and distributors rather than single-cage hobby users.

Q4: Can it mix with 4 cm heads on the same pipe?

Yes, the orange clamp fits the same manifold, so short and long brass heads can be installed side by side wherever the cage geometry requires.
