Key Features:
-
Durable Brass Barb: Features a robust 5/16" brass barbed end that resists wear, corrosion, and animal chewing, ensuring long-lasting performance.
-
Leak-Proof Seal: Comes complete with a thick rubber O-ring gasket and a hand-tightening wing nut to create a watertight, dependable seal against curved or flat plastic surfaces.
-
Easy Gravity-Fed Setup: Allows you to supply clean water to multiple rows of cages from a single central bucket or barrel.
-
Debris Prevention: Simple to install above the bottom of your bucket to prevent sediment and dirt from entering your water lines and clogging your watering nipples.
Specifications:
-
Connection Type: 5/16" Barb (for tubing) x 1/8" Male Pipe Thread (bulkhead side)
-
Compatible Tubing Size: 5/16" ID (Inner Diameter) tubing
-
Included Components: 1x Bulkhead connector, 1x 5/16" brass barb, 1x rubber O-ring/gasket, and 1x tightening wing nut
-
Recommended Drill Hole Size: 5/16" (or 3/8" depending on exact fit preferences)
Installation Tip:
For Best Results: Drill your hole on the side of your plastic bucket approximately 1 to 2 inches up from the very bottom. 1 This allows any heavy sediment, mineral scale, or dirt to settle harmlessly at the bottom of the bucket rather than running down your lines and potentially clogging your rabbit nipples. 2
