ABSTRACT:
A parallel array of a lower elongated plastic water pipe, an intermediate elongated compression member, and an upper tensioned cable is supported at the ends by rigid end support members. Animal operated drinker valves, mounted within upward opening cups, are disposed in longitudinally spaced relation on the upper face of the water pipe. The entire apparatus is suspended from an overhead support by the end supports. Intermediate spacer brackets maintain the spaced relation of the pipe, compression member, and tensioned cable. Where the cable functions as an anti-roost cable for poultry, additional cable supports are mounted on the compression member and secured to the cable to maintain the spacing of these two members. In alternative form an elongated support bar of V-shaped cross-section is maintained in contiguous relation with the pipe by spaced clamps, to serve as an additional anti-sag support for the watering unit.
