A suspension-type water supply system for poultry includes a plurality of rigid, elongated suspension members (2) each formed at one side with a longitudinally-extending socket section (2a) receiving a water supply pipe (8) for supplying water to poultry drinking devices (10) suspended therefrom, and formed at its opposite side with a continuous, longitudinally-extending flange section (2b) for increasing the resistance of the water supply system to sagging; and a plurality of bridging members (4) each bridging the ends of two adjacent suspension members (2) and securing them together by fasteners (6) passing through the bridging members (4) and the ends of the suspension members (4). The flange section (2b) of each of the suspension members (2) is formed with a pair of longitudinally-extending ribs (12,14) on its opposite faces. The system further includes a plurality of hangers (22) slidably receiving the ribs (12,14) for supporting the water supply system in suspension at any desired points thereof. |
