ABSTRACT:
A poultry watering system includes a fluid conduit integrally formed with a pair of depending flanges. Each flange has a retention ledge depending therefrom and extending toward the other flange. A plurality of openings are provided in the fluid conduit. A flat sealing surface is disposed about the openings. A plurality of poultry drinkers including securement arms are provided. An O-ring is disposed about the top of each drinker. The drinkers are positioned between the flanges such that the inlet of the drinker extends through the opening and the O-ring is adjacent the sealing surface. The drinker is then rotated such that the retention arms are disposed above the ledges. In this manner, the drinker is secured to the fluid conduit and the contact between the O-ring and the sealing surface forms a water-tight seal around the opening. The drinker is also provided with a trigger pin having a tapered segment to properly center the trigger pin and resist leaking of the drinker through undesired displacement of the valve. The system further includes a bracket for joining the conduit of the watering system to a support pipe. The bracket surrounds the support pipe and the conduit and prevents rotation of the conduit. The bracket is secured about the conduit and support pipe by a locking member.
