3/4 Inch to 8 mm Poultry Water Line Tee

Product Overview

The SL-63 3/4 inch to 8 mm tee is a compact plastic fitting built for poultry nipple drinking systems. It connects a 3/4 inch supply connection to an 8 mm drinker hose, giving farmers a simple way to branch small-bore drinking lines off the main water supply. The tee body is molded from translucent white engineering plastic and weighs only 6 g, which keeps the suspended water line light and easy to lift with the house winch. Farmers who retrofit older houses often choose this fitting because it drops the supply size down without extra adapters.

Each arm of the fitting is 5.5 cm long, providing enough overlap for a secure push-fit connection on both the supply side and the hose side. It is packed as 200 pieces per small bag with 25 small bags per carton, which makes it easy for distributors to split stock or for farms to carry spare parts. This fitting is used wherever a poultry drinker line needs to drop from a larger supply pipe down to 8 mm nipple tubing, and it fits the standard hose sizes found in most commercial layer and broiler installations.

Key Features and Benefits

• Step-down connection - joins a 3/4 inch supply line to 8 mm drinker hose without separate threaded adapters, reducing the number of parts on each branch.
• Lightweight 6 g body - adds minimal load to suspended nipple lines so winch ropes, pulleys and lifting cables stay easy to operate all season.
• 5.5 cm equal arm length - both sides offer enough insertion depth for a tight push-fit seal against the hose shoulder and reduce the chance of blow-off.
• Translucent white plastic - lets operators see water flow, air bubbles and blockages inside the fitting during routine line inspection.
• Bagged for resale - 200 pieces per small bag simplifies retail packs, dealer kits and farm spare-part boxes ordered by the bag.
• Corrosion-free material - will not rust or stain the water line in the damp, ammonia-rich air that is normal inside a working poultry house.

Materials and Quality

The tee is molded from translucent white plastic that stays flexible under normal line pressure and resists the humid air inside poultry houses. The molding shows clean edges and consistent wall thickness, and each piece is checked before packing so that distributors receive uniform batches. Because the fitting is fully plastic, it will not rust or introduce metal corrosion products into the drinking water the way some metal reducers can. The material also withstands the mild acids and disinfectants used in routine house cleaning programs. We keep the same mold and raw material standard for repeat orders, so replacements fit the existing lines year after year without rework.

How to Use and Maintain

Push the 8 mm hose firmly onto the barbed arm until it seats against the shoulder, and connect the supply side in the same way. No special tools are required, but warm water can soften the hose in cold weather for an easier fit. During routine line flushing, run water through the tee in both directions to remove sediment and biofilm, and inspect the barbs each season for cracks. Replace the fitting if the hose slips off under pressure or if the body shows visible damage, and keep a small stock of spares on the farm for quick repairs.

Applications

This tee suits layer houses, broiler houses and breeder farms that run nipple drinkers on 8 mm tubing. It is commonly used at the point where a manifold or pressure regulator feeds a new drinker line, or where a short branch line is needed to reach an extra row of cages inside the house.

Distributors and integrators also stock it as a repair part for existing drinking systems, since leaking tees are a common source of line pressure loss and wet litter. It works with standard poultry nipple drinker hoses of matching inner diameter and can be mixed with other fittings in one carton for combined shipments to overseas buyers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What hose sizes does this tee connect?

It connects a 3/4 inch supply connection to an 8 mm drinker hose, as marked on the product label SL-63. Please confirm your hose inner diameter before ordering, since this tee is sized for 8 mm tubing.

Q2: Is any sealant or hose clip needed for the push-fit joint?

The barbed design is made for push-fit installation; a small hose clip can be added on critical points for extra security in long drop lines. The barb holds the hose firmly once pushed home, and clips are optional but useful where the line is lifted and lowered often.

Q3: How is the fitting packed for export orders?

It is packed 200 pieces per small bag, with 25 small bags per carton, and can be combined with other fittings in a mixed container load. Cartons are then stacked on pallets for container loading, and mixed SKUs can share one pallet to save freight.

Q4: Can this tee be used with water lines carrying medication or vaccines?

Yes, the plastic body is compatible with standard line drinking water and water-soluble treatments; flush the line thoroughly after each treatment cycle.
