3/4 Inch to 9.5 and 13.5 mm Reducing Water Line Tee

Product Overview

The SL-66 reducing tee is designed for poultry nipple drinking lines where the main supply connection is 3/4 inch but the drinker hoses run at 9.5 mm and 13.5 mm. The product image shows two variants: a 6 g version and an 8 g version, so buyers can match the tee size to their hose diameter and line layout. Both are molded from translucent white plastic and follow the same simple push-fit principle used across the whole drinking line range. Farmers like having both variants available because a single truck delivery can cover every branch size on a mixed-age farm.

The 6 g variant has a 2.8 cm body height and a 2.4 cm barb length, while the 8 g variant rises to 4 cm with a 2.8 cm barb. This means one SKU covers two common line sizes, which helps distributors simplify stock. Each variant is bagged as 200 pieces per small bag with 30 small bags per carton, ready for resale or farm spare-part use.

Key Features and Benefits

• Two size variants in one product line - the 6 g and 8 g versions cover 9.5 mm and 13.5 mm branch hoses from the same 3/4 inch supply.
• Barbed push-fit ends - no threads or glue, just push the hose on and the barb grips it for a sealed joint.
• Lightweight translucent body - at 6 g or 8 g per piece, the tee adds almost no weight to suspended lines.
• Visible interior - the translucent plastic lets staff spot blockages and trapped air without taking the line apart.
• Convenient packing - 200 pieces per small bag and 30 bags per carton supports both retail and bulk farm orders.
• Corrosion-resistant - plastic will not rust in humid poultry houses and stays neutral to drinking water.

Materials and Quality

Both variants are injection molded from the same translucent white plastic that resists moisture, mild disinfectants and normal water temperature swings. The molds are controlled so that the barb shape, shoulder position and wall thickness stay consistent across production runs. We check weight and dimensions at random during packing, and we reject any piece with flash or short fills. The result is a fitting that connects tightly today and remains interchangeable with replacements ordered in later seasons. The fitting also tolerates the mild disinfectants used during down-time washing, so it stays in service through multiple production cycles.

How to Use and Maintain

Select the variant that matches your branch hose diameter, then push the hose onto the barb until it reaches the shoulder. Work from the supply side outward so the line is built step by step. During line washing, reverse-flush the tee to push out settled particles, and check that both variants are stocked in the farm maintenance kit. A quick visual check at each tee during row inspection can catch a small leak before it develops into a wet litter patch. If a hose slips off, first check whether the barb has worn smooth, and replace the tee if the grip is lost. Label the bags by variant during installation so the maintenance team always reaches for the right size the first time.

Applications

This reducing tee is used on layered cage farms, floor-raised broiler houses and breeder houses where a 3/4 inch feeder line drops down to nipple hoses of 9.5 mm or 13.5 mm. It appears at manifold outlets, at the start of branch lines and wherever two different hose sizes meet inside one house.

Because the two variants share the same bagging standard, integrators can order them together and split packs by size on arrival. It is also a practical repair part: when an older mixed-diameter line needs replacement tees, this product covers both sides of the join without searching for two separate SKUs. It pairs well with our white range of couplings and elbows when a retrofit mixes 3/4 inch supply pipe with smaller nipple hoses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Which variant should I order for 13.5 mm hose?

The 8 g variant, with its 4 cm body height and 2.8 cm barb, is the larger one suited to the 13.5 mm hose side, while the 6 g variant suits the smaller 9.5 mm side.

Q2: Do I need tools to install this tee?

No tools are required for the push-fit barb joint; pushing the hose fully home is enough, and a hose clip can be added for extra security.

Q3: Can the two variants be ordered in one carton?

Yes, both are packed to the same 200 pieces per small bag standard, and we can split the carton between variants on request for mixed orders.

Q4: Is the plastic safe for drinking water contact?

The fitting is made for poultry drinking systems and is compatible with normal line water and water-soluble treatments, following the same material standard used across our drinking line range. Rinse the line after each medication cycle to prevent residue build-up on the barbed interior.
