Finisher Pig Nipple Drinker

The Finisher Pig Nipple Drinker is designed to provide finishing pigs with direct access to fresh drinking water in commercial swine housing. The pig activates the internal valve by pressing the stainless steel trigger with its mouth, allowing water to flow only when required.

A robust stainless steel body, durable sealing system and adjustable water-flow configuration make the drinker suitable for intensive pig production. Standard 1/2-inch male pipe threads simplify integration with common water pipes, adjustable drinker brackets and existing pig-house watering systems.

• Designed for Finishing Pigs: Larger nipple configuration provides convenient access for growing and market-weight pigs.
• Stainless Steel Construction: Body, trigger and spring provide good corrosion resistance in humid pig-house environments.
• Durable Viton O-Ring: Provides reliable valve sealing during intensive daily operation.
• 304 Stainless Steel Spring: Supports dependable trigger return and long service life.
• Adjustable Water Flow: Multiple orifice settings allow water delivery to be matched to farm conditions and pig requirements.
• On-Demand Drinking: Water is released when the pig activates the trigger, helping limit unnecessary continuous flow.
• Standard Connection: 1/2-inch male pipe thread is compatible with common commercial swine watering installations.
• Easy Replacement: Wrench flats facilitate installation, removal and routine maintenance.

• Stainless Steel Body: Forms the pressure-resistant outer housing and threaded connection.
• Trigger Pin: Activated by the pig to open the internal water valve.
• Stainless Steel Spring: Returns the trigger to the closed position after drinking.
• Viton O-Ring: Seals the valve assembly to help control leakage.
• Adjustable Orifice: Provides selectable water-flow settings.
• Threaded Inlet: Connects the drinker to the water pipe or drinker bracket.
• Protective Mouthpiece: Surrounds the trigger and provides a durable contact area for finishing pigs.

The drinker remains closed under normal water-line pressure. When a pig places the nipple in its mouth and presses the trigger, the internal valve opens and fresh water passes through the selected flow-control orifice.

When pressure on the trigger is released, the spring returns the valve to its closed position and the sealing element stops the water flow. This simple mechanical principle provides water on demand without requiring electricity or electronic controls.

Installation:

• Connect the 1/2-inch threaded inlet to a compatible drinking pipe, elbow or adjustable mounting bracket.
• Install the nipple at a height appropriate for the pigs' body weight and growth stage.
• Position the drinker so pigs raise their heads slightly while drinking, helping direct water into the mouth and limit wastage.
• Use adjustable brackets where several weight classes are housed during the production cycle.
• Flush the water line thoroughly before placing the drinker into service.
• Check pressure and select a suitable flow setting before animals enter the pen.

Maintenance:

• Activate each nipple regularly to verify adequate water flow.
• Check for continuous dripping after the trigger is released.
• Remove mineral deposits, rust particles or feed contamination when necessary.
• Inspect O-rings, springs and valve components during routine servicing.
• Flush water lines after medication or water-treatment programs.
• Verify drinker height and flow rate as pigs grow.

Q1: What pigs is this nipple drinker designed for?

It is primarily designed for growing and finishing pigs in commercial swine production facilities.

Q2: What pipe connection does the drinker use?

The reference configuration uses a standard 1/2-inch male pipe thread for connection to common pig watering systems.

Q3: Can the water flow be adjusted?

Yes. The reference Aqua Series design provides three orifice settings for different water-flow requirements.

Q4: What operating pressure is recommended?

The reference nipple is designed for approximately 20-40 psi operating pressure, with a stated maximum of 50 psi.

Q5: Why is drinker height important?

Correct height encourages pigs to drink with their heads slightly raised, improving access while helping reduce unnecessary water loss.

Q6: Can it be installed on an adjustable water pipe?

Yes. Adjustable brackets and water pipes are useful where nipple height needs to change as pigs grow.

Q7: How should water flow be checked?

Activate the nipple into a measured container for a fixed period and compare the delivered volume with the target flow for the pig weight and farm management program.

Q8: What information is required for a quotation?

Please provide pig weight range, required quantity, pipe connection, water pressure, preferred flow range, mounting method and complete pig-house watering layout if system design support is required.
