ABSTRACT:
A drinker line consists of an assembly of prefabricated drinker sections of standardized construction. Each section includes a length of PVC pipe with a PVC pipe coupling attached to one end. A stiffening support consists of strips of sheet metal broken along its longitudinal center line to form a 60.degree. V-shaped cross section. The stiffening support includes a support bar of that construction, disposed contiguous to the pipe with the pipe partially nesting in the channel of the support, and the bar being slightly shorter than the pipe to allow for mounting of couplings at both ends of the pipe. A short bridging bar of the same stiffening construction is nested with the support bar at the coupling end of the pipe in overlapping relation with the support bar, and extending beyond the coupling end of the assembly for nesting relation with the support bar of an adjacent drinker section after assembly. The pipe, support bar, and bridging bar are secured together to form the assembled drinker section by suitable band clamps. Each drinker section includes a plurality of longitudinally spaced drinker devices, such as drinker cups secured to the pipe by poultry operated drinker valves. The drinker sections are connected together utilizing screw clamps; and the continuous drinker line is suspended by means of hanger brackets and conventional drop cables of a cable winching system to adjust the elevation of the drinker line.
