Art. FDA-000007TP – 1/2″ Brass Push-Button Nipple Drinker Humidifier
1/2″ automatic nipple drinker for swine, with brass push-button system, ideal for “eat and drink” feeders. Ensures controlled water delivery, improving feed intake and reducing waste.
Art. FDA-000007TP - 1/2" Automatic Brass Push-Button Nipple Drinker Humidifier for Swine Feeders (Eat/Drink)
Product description
The FDA-000007TP brass push-button automatic nipple drinker is designed for use inside feeders (eat and drink systems), ensuring constant water delivery directly during feed intake.
The push-button system allows precise and controlled activation by the animal, improving water management inside the feeder.
This solution improves feed intake, promotes animal hydration, and reduces waste, keeping the rearing area cleaner.
Made with robust and wear-resistant materials, it is ideal for pig farms requiring reliability, durability, and ease of management.

Installation heights and angle

The indicated heights are general guidelines.
The FDA-000007TP drinker is designed to be installed inside feeders, so the pig can activate it while eating.
For piglet rearing, we recommend using two installation heights or height adjusters to adapt the position to the animals' growth.
The angle can be adjusted between 30° and 45°:
Piglets (7–20 kg)
- Height: 8–12 cm above feeder bottom
- Angle: 30°–45°
- Pressure: 0.5–1.5 bar
- Flow rate: 0.5–0.8 L/min
Weaners / Growers (20–40 kg)
- Height: 12–18 cm
- Angle: 35°–45°
- Pressure: 1–2 bar
- Flow rate: 0.7–1.0 L/min
Finishers (40–80 kg)
- Height: 18–25 cm
- Angle: 40°–45°
- Pressure: 1–2.5 bar
- Flow rate: 0.8–1.2 L/min
Fattening (80–120+ kg)
- Height: 25–35 cm
- Angle: 45°
- Pressure: 1.5–3 bar
- Flow rate: 1.0–1.5 L/min
Correct installation allows the water flow to be directed straight into the feed, reducing waste and improving feed efficiency.
Recommended water pressure
All drinkers work at both low and high pressure, with a maximum value of 4 bar (55 psi).
For piglet rearing, water pressure should not exceed 2 bar (28 psi).
In general, lower pressures promote:
- water savings
- reduced component wear
- more controlled water flow
- greater ease of use
- waste reduction
👉 We recommend using a pressure reducer in the presence of high or variable values.
Water flow rate
👉 (CLICK HERE) for the flow rate chart
The flow rate of the 1/2" automatic nipple drinker varies based on the pressure in the water line.
For optimal operation, a flow rate between 0.7 and 1.5 L/min is recommended, to achieve proper feed moistening without excess.
The push-button system allows controlled delivery, adapting to different system pressure conditions.
Three adjustment levels are highlighted in the graph:
-
Level 1 (2–9 bar) – green zone
for high-pressure systems -
Level 2 (1–2 bar) – blue zone
for intermediate pressures -
Level 3 (0–1 bar) – gray zone
for low-pressure lines
The graph allows you to quickly identify the correct level to set on the cap to obtain a stable flow rate based on the available pressure.
With correct adjustment, the flow rate remains around 1.0 L/min, ensuring a constant, reliable flow suitable for different farming conditions.
The use of pressure reducers allows for centralized flow management, particularly useful during hot periods.
Water contamination
Contamination of water or pipes is one of the main causes of drinker malfunction.
The presence of impurities or sediment can compromise the correct operation of the system and reduce its lifespan.
👉 We recommend installing a filter on the water system to prevent these issues and ensure consistent performance.
