9.5 mm Poultry Water Line Tee

Product Overview

The SL-39 9.5 mm tee sits between our smallest 8 mm tee and the 13.5 mm tee in the red fitting family. It is 4.2 cm long and 2.5 cm high, weighing 1.8 g, and is used wherever a 9.5 mm nipple drinking line needs to branch or join another hose. The size is a common middle choice on layer farms, because 9.5 mm hose balances water flow with the compact spacing of cage rows.

Three barbed ends in a T-shape let the line pass straight through while feeding one branch down to a nipple outlet. It is packed 500 pieces per bag with 20 bags per carton, a higher piece count than the larger red tees because the part itself is smaller. This makes it convenient for both whole-house installation programs and distributor shelf packs that turn over quickly.

Key Features and Benefits

• Middle-bore sizing - fits the 9.5 mm hose widely used on layer and small broiler drinking lines between cages.
• 1.8 g light body - keeps the lifted line light and lowers wear on pulleys, ropes and winch cables.
• 4.2 cm compact length - fits between cage fronts where longer tees would interfere with equipment.
• Push-fit barbs - installs quickly with hand pressure, no glue, tape or threaded tools required on site.
• 500 pieces per bag - high piece count per bag suits long rows and reduces handling during big projects.
• Red family look - matches the rest of the red fitting series for easy on-farm identification and stock checks.

Materials and Quality

The tee is molded in red engineering plastic chosen for resistance to moisture, mild disinfectants and the normal temperature swings inside poultry houses. The barb edges are formed to grip 9.5 mm hose securely, and wall thickness is kept even so the body will not split under line pressure. Weight is held around 1.8 g across batches, so that installers recognize the fitting by feel on site.

We inspect random pieces from each bag before sealing the carton, which keeps the quality level steady order after order. The red tint runs through the whole wall, so the fitting stays identifiable even after years of dust and cleaning.

Each production batch is sampled for barb grip on a standard 9.5 mm hose before the bags are sealed, so installers can rely on the same push-fit feel whether the box was filled this month or last season.

How to Use and Maintain

Cut the hose square, push each end onto a barb until it reaches the shoulder, and secure the line with the matching support clips. During line flushing between flocks, push water through at higher pressure and run a cleaning ball through the tee junctions to wash away slime.

Walk each row once a month to check for leaks at the branch points; if a hose slips, reseat it or replace the tee if the barb surface has worn smooth. Keep a spare bag on the farm so repairs do not wait for the next delivery.

When a row of new tees is installed, finish the day by opening the supply valve gradually rather than all at once, since water hammer on fine-bore joints can blow a fresh hose off a barb before the plastic has settled onto the pipe.

Applications

This tee is a common sight on layer farms that run 9.5 mm nipple lines between battery cages, and on broiler breeders that need branch points at each nipple station. It is used wherever the line splits, turns into a short drop, or joins a new section of hose along the row.

Distributors also sell it as a repair part, since small tees take the most accidental bumps during cage cleaning and vaccination work. It can be ordered together with 8 mm and 13.5 mm red tees in the same container to cover every hose size on a mixed farm, which saves freight for dealers serving several house types.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Which hose size does this tee match?

It matches 9.5 mm poultry drinking hose, as labeled on the product image SL-39. Tell us your hose inner diameter if you are unsure and we will confirm the match. Ordering by bag keeps the unit cost low for farms that fit only a few rows at a time.

Q2: How many pieces are packed per carton?

Each bag holds 500 pieces and each carton holds 20 bags, which is sized for medium to large layer house projects and dealer restocks. This packing also suits farms that want to rotate fresh stock each season.

Q3: Can I buy smaller trial quantities?

We can split bags for sample orders so you can test the fitting on a short line before committing to a full project order.

Q4: What happens if the barb becomes slippery over years of use?

A worn barb no longer grips the hose, so replacing the tee is the practical fix; a hose clip can also buy extra time in between replacements.
