6 Point Long Rabbit Drinking Device

Product Overview

The SL-115 6 point long rabbit drinking device is the longest reach nipple in the yellow extended-body range. A bright yellow clamp grips the drinking pipe, a long hollow yellow tube carries water down to a brass valve head, and a stainless pin at the tip releases water when the rabbit licks it. Printed dimensions on the image show an overall length of 9.5 cm and a clip width of 3 cm, packed at 3000 pieces per bag. Where the 4 point long body covers a small gap between pipe and cage, this 6 point version covers a larger offset, such as pipes mounted well behind the cage front.

The whole unit is one continuous yellow body from clamp to brass head, so water travels through the hollow tube without intermediate hose joints. The black sealing washer between the brass head and yellow body prevents leaks at the threaded joint. This design is used in double-row batteries, cages with wide feed troughs, and retrofit rows where the new manifold must sit several centimetres back from the wire. Choosing the correct reach means the pin ends exactly at the rabbits nose rather than being unreachable or pushed too far inside.

Key Features and Benefits

• 9.5 cm reach - the longest yellow extended body, for pipes set well back from the cage front.
• One-piece hollow body - water runs through the tube, eliminating hose and connector leak points.
• Brass valve head - resists hard-water scaling and seals reliably over long service.
• Stainless pin - smooth drinking contact with spring return after every lick.
• 3 cm clip - the upper jaw grips the standard drinking manifold without extra parts.
• Bulk packing - 3000 pieces per bag for large rows and distributor stock.

Materials and Quality

The yellow body is moulded as a single rigid hollow tube, which keeps the long reach straight without sagging. The upper clamp jaw is the same flexible engineering plastic used across the range, and the brass head is threaded into the tube end with a visible black seal. The stainless pin is free-moving in the brass bore. Because this longer projecting unit takes more knocks from cages and cleaning tools, the body wall is moulded thick enough to resist cracking, and each piece is checked for straightness and pin movement before bagging.

How to Use and Maintain

Clip the upper jaw onto the pipe at the cage position and rotate the unit so the brass pin points into the cage at nose height. Flush the line briefly after installation to clear moulding dust. During weekly service, press the pin to keep the valve free and check that the long body is not bent or cracked; because it projects further than short nipples, it receives more impacts. If the brass head weeps at the seal, unscrew it, reset the black washer or replace it, and retighten. Keep spare units on hand since a cracked long body cannot be repaired.

Applications

This extended drinker is chosen for double-row rabbit batteries, cages where a wide feed trough sits between pipe and wire, and retrofit sheds where the new manifold must be mounted several centimetres behind the cage front. It is also used in denser commercial installations where nipple spacing must match cage spacing exactly. Distributors offer it alongside the 4 point long body and the short copper-head models, so one farm can mix reaches on the same manifold for different cage types.

For export buyers, the long-body version is commonly loaded in the same container as short nipples, pipe, end caps and regulators. The 3000 per bag packing suits large rows, and the distinct yellow body makes it easy for maintenance staff to confirm which reach is installed at each position. Because the 9.5 cm body projects further into the cage, it is worth planning nipple spacing so that neighbouring cages cannot bump into each other across a shared wall. Cage builders usually recommend a small clearance between rows when this long body is fitted, so the projecting brass head does not strike the opposite cage during cleaning or routine cage servicing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: When do I need the 6 point long body instead of the 4 point?

Choose the 6 point version when the pipe sits well back from the cage front, for example behind a wide trough or in a double-row battery, and the 4 point body would not reach.

Q2: How long is the whole unit?

The overall length is 9.5 cm with a 3 cm clip width. The brass valve head and stainless pin sit at the projecting end.

Q3: Does it need a separate hose?

No. Water runs through the hollow yellow tube from the clamped pipe to the brass head, so there are no intermediate hose connections.

Q4: How are they packed?

3000 pieces per bag, the same bulk packing as the other clamp-on copper-head nipples in this range.
