This Lixit Pig Water Nipple L-80 is a stainless steel water nipple with bite guard for PVC watering systems in kennels or farrowing houses. The stainless steel, patented 'center flow' water delivery operates at 5-100 psi water pressure. This water orifice is excellent for swine, dogs, goats, sheep, primates and other zoo animals.

• Lixit Pig water nipple L-80 is a stainless-steel water nipple with a bite guard for PVC watering systems in kennels or farrowing houses
• Stainless-steel and patented 'center flow' water delivery operates at 5 to 100 PSI water pressure
• Lixit nipples should be checked periodically to detect any flow rate reduction from filter screen plugging
• Up to 15 pigs can be served with a single water nipple
• Best practical number of animals per valve rests with common sense judgment and depends on the size of the animals and time of year
• Stainless-steel LIXIT nipples are self-service lever operated tilt valves
• Lixit Nipples screw directly into standard 1/2 in. pipe fittings and can be installed horizontally or tilted downward at most any angle
• Best installation is titled downward at a 45 degree angle and at a height where the pigs reach upward to drink; position reduces water wastage while drinking
• Where height adjustment is desired, water nipple can be installed in a section of pipe and connected to the water line with flexible high pressure hose
• Choice of internal orifice discs provide regulation of water flow at water pressures up to 100 psi
• Controlled water flow helps avoid water wastage; use no orifice for 5-30 psi pressure
• Use the large orifice for 30-60 psi pressure and the small orifice for over 60 psi pressure
• Flow rates using 40 psi are as follows: Small orifice = pint per minute, Large orifice = 1 1/2 qt. per minute, no orifice = 2 quarts per minute
• Water flows under the tilted valve head and through the hollow lever into the animal's mouth
• Flow is a gentle water release; it shuts off automatically when control level is released
• If dripping occurs, press the control lever inward and entrapped particles usually will be flushed away; if dripping persist, disassemble and remove the obstruction or repair with replacement parts
• Important: If your water nipple system contains particles of silt or sand, we recommend that a filter be installed in the supply line ahead of the valve; sand particles can lodge under the valve seal and cause leakage
• Replacement parts available
• Warranty: Lixit Nipples are guaranteed free from manufacturing defects for five years from purchase date
