Double-Outlet Hanging Pig Nipple Drinker

The Double-Outlet Hanging Pig Nipple Drinker is a suspended watering assembly designed for group-housed pigs in commercial swine facilities. The Y-shaped lower pipe provides two threaded outlets for compatible nipple drinkers, allowing pigs to approach the watering point from either side.

A chain-suspended design provides convenient height adjustment as pigs grow and allows limited movement when animals contact the drinker, reducing rigid stress on fixed pen-mounted plumbing. Stainless steel and galvanized versions are available for different farm environments and project budgets.

• Double Drinking Outlets: Two lower threaded connections allow installation of two compatible pig nipple drinkers.
• Adjustable Hanging Height: Chain suspension allows the drinking position to be changed as pigs grow.
• Swinging Configuration: The hanging assembly can move when contacted by pigs, reducing abuse compared with rigid stationary installations.
• Stainless or Galvanized Options: Material can be selected according to corrosion resistance, service environment and project budget.
• Standard Pipe Threads: Common 1/2-inch threaded connections simplify integration with commercial pig watering equipment.
• Simple Installation: Chain and mounting bracket provide a straightforward suspension method inside pig pens.
• Easy Maintenance: Individual nipples, chains and pipe components can be serviced or replaced separately.

• Vertical Water Pipe: Carries water from the flexible supply connection to the lower outlets.
• Y-Shaped Double Outlet: Provides two nipple mounting positions at the bottom of the assembly.
• Hanging Ear Bracket: Connects the pipe body to the suspension chain.
• Suspension Chain: Supports the waterer and allows convenient height adjustment.
• Ceiling or Structural Bracket: Anchors the chain to a suitable building or pen support.
• Nipple Drinkers: Compatible 1/2-inch male-thread nipples can be selected according to pig size and required water flow.

Water enters through the threaded connection at the top of the hanging pipe and flows down to the two lower branches. Compatible nipple valves are installed in the female-threaded outlets.

When a pig activates either nipple, water is released on demand. The chain-supported assembly allows controlled movement and can be raised or lowered to maintain an appropriate drinking position throughout the production cycle.

Installation:

• Secure the suspension bracket to a suitable ceiling, structural or pen support.
• Hang the drinker with sufficient chain length for future height adjustment.
• Connect the upper 1/2-inch male thread to a compatible flexible water supply.
• Install suitable nipple drinkers into both lower 1/2-inch female-thread outlets.
• As a reference, position the bottom of the drinker approximately 2-3 inches above the pig's shoulder and adjust as animals grow.
• Flush the line and test both nipples for correct flow and shutoff before use.

Maintenance:

• Inspect the suspension chain and mounting brackets regularly.
• Check threaded connections for leakage.
• Test both nipples regularly for adequate water flow.
• Remove mineral deposits and feed contamination when necessary.
• Flush the water line after medication or extended shutdown.
• Adjust hanging height as pig body size changes.

Q1: What is the advantage of a hanging pig waterer?

The suspended design allows height adjustment and limited movement when pigs contact the drinker, reducing stress on rigid fixed installations.

Q2: Why does the waterer have two outlets?

Two outlets provide two nipple positions, improving access for group-housed pigs and allowing animals to drink from opposite sides.

Q3: Are nipple valves included?

Nipple inclusion depends on the selected configuration. Compatible 1/2-inch male-thread nipple drinkers can be supplied according to pig size and water-flow requirements.

Q4: What material options are available?

Stainless steel and galvanized steel configurations are available.

Q5: What is the reference pipe length?

The reference hanging waterer uses an 18-inch pipe with a 7-foot suspension chain.

Q6: Can the height be adjusted as pigs grow?

Yes. Moving the chain to a different link provides simple height adjustment throughout the growth cycle.

Q7: Can different nipple drinkers be installed?

Yes. Suitable 1/2-inch male-thread nipples can be selected according to pig category, water pressure and required flow rate.

Q8: What information is required for a quotation?

Please provide pig weight range, required quantity, preferred pipe material, nipple type, water pressure, installation height and project location.
