Automatic plastic drinking cup with wing-nut mounting for attachment to suitable wire mesh. Made from high-quality, UV-resistant plastic and available with a small bowl (3.5 cm diameter) or a large bowl (4.5 cm diameter). The small version releases water when the bird presses the operating tongue, while the large version features automatic float control. For low-pressure water systems only.
This compact drinking cup provides a practical and space-saving water supply for poultry. It is secured directly to suitable wire mesh using a removable wing-nut fitting and receives water through a connected hose.
The round drinking bowl has a seamless, crevice-free design, making it easy to clean.

Small bowl – water on demand
The small drinking bowl contains a yellow operating tongue. When a bird presses the tongue with its beak, water is released into the bowl.
Water is therefore dispensed when the animal activates the mechanism.
Large bowl – automatic water level control
The large version is equipped with an integrated float that regulates the water level automatically.
As the water level drops, additional water can enter the bowl. When the intended level is reached, the float closes the inlet.
This keeps a supply of water available in the large drinking bowl.
Easy Wing-Nut Mounting
To install the drinker, unscrew the round wing nut at the rear, position the fitting on suitable wire mesh and tighten the nut again.
The drinking height should be chosen so that the birds can comfortably reach the bowl.
Low-Pressure Water Supply Only
Both versions have a connection for 1/4" hose and must be operated with an appropriate low-pressure water system.
A pressure compensation tank with a float valve can be used to supply water at the required low pressure.
Important: The water surface in the supply tank must be no more than 40 cm above the drinking cup. This corresponds to approximately 0.04 bar of static water pressure.
Higher pressure may cause leakage.
Do not connect the drinking cup directly to full mains water pressure.

Water supply hose, pressure compensation tank and any additional fittings required are available separately.
Installation and Use
Remove the rear wing nut, position the drinking cup on suitable wire mesh and secure it firmly.
Connect a compatible 1/4" hose to an appropriate low-pressure water supply.
Ensure that the water surface in the supply reservoir is no more than 40 cm above the drinking cup.
After installation, check the hose connections for leaks and test the water supply.
For the small version, water should be released when the yellow tongue is pressed. For the large version, the float should automatically stop the incoming water when the intended level is reached.
Clean the drinking cup regularly and inspect the moving parts for dirt or blockages.
Protect the water supply against freezing and check daily that the birds have sufficient drinking water.
