Rear mount Chicken Drinking Bowl

Product Overview

The rear-mount chicken drinking bowl shows what the cup looks like from behind: a deep red molded shell joined to a square plastic block that carries the black nipple fitting. The sample photo pairs two bowls back to back, which is the clearest way to demonstrate how the bracket block sits against a wall, frame or pipe. This rear view matters to buyers who need to know the fitting depth before they drill holes or design a new cage line.

The bowl is built as two molded pieces: the drinking cup and the mounting block. The block overlaps the back rim of the cup and carries the nipple at a slight downward angle, so water released by the nipple lands in the center of the bowl instead of running down the outside. The cup is open at the top and rounded at the bottom, giving the birds a clear, low lip to drink from. It is a common replacement part for existing automatic drinking lines in layer houses and breeding sheds.

Key Features and Benefits

• Rear bracket block - The solid back block sits flat against the mounting surface, which keeps the bowl level and prevents sideways swing.
• Angled nipple outlet - The black nipple points into the middle of the bowl, so released water drips into the cup rather than onto the wall.
• Deep red shell - The bright red cup is visible at a distance and matches standard poultry drinking line color schemes.
• Tool-free clip fit - The bowl slots into the bracket block, so a farmer can detach it for washing in seconds without a screwdriver.
• Replacement-friendly - Because the bracket block and nipple are standard, a broken cup can be swapped without changing the whole fitting.
• Rounded inner floor - The smooth curved bottom avoids dead corners where slime and feed residue could collect.

Materials and Quality

Both the cup and the bracket block are injection-molded plastic with a consistent wall thickness. The red shell carries a slight gloss, and the block uses a firmer grade plastic that keeps its shape under daily screwing and clipping. The nipple housing is reinforced around the outlet so repeated tightening does not crack the block. We inspect the mating surfaces of cup and block before packing, because a loose joint is the most common cause of slow dripping. Samples are pressure-tested with a short water line to confirm that the outlet seals correctly.

How to Use and Maintain

Fix the rear bracket block to a wall rail, cage frame or short pipe with the outlet pointing down and forward. Clip the red bowl onto the block so the cup sits directly under the nipple. Turn on the water and check that the first drops fall into the center of the bowl. To clean, unclip the bowl at the end of each week, rinse it under running water, and wipe the nipple pin with a damp cloth. If the block becomes loose on the wall, re-fix it with the same screws rather than over-tightening the nipple, because overtightening can split the plastic thread.

Applications

This rear-mount bowl is a natural fit for layer cage fronts, where the bracket block screws onto the wire frame and the cup hangs inside the cage reach. It is also used in breeding pens, quarantine units and veterinary isolation rooms, where each pen needs its own clearly labeled drinking point. The rear-mounted style keeps the outside of the cage face tidy, which helps farmers spot sick birds or blockages during a daily walk-through.

Farm equipment suppliers stock this bowl as a spare part, because cup shells crack when broody hens peck them or when frozen water expands in winter. Distributors like that the same bracket block works with several nipple types, so they can offer one mounting system and several drinker options to their customers. Mixed container shipments often combine these red bowls with nipples, pipes and hanger straps to give the buyer a complete drinking line in one order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Can this bowl be mounted on a vertical wall instead of a pipe?

Yes. The rear block is flat on the back, so it can be screwed to a wooden plank, a cage wall or a metal bracket. Keep the outlet roughly level with the nipple height used on your pipe system.

Q2: Is the bracket block sold together with the bowl?

The set includes the red bowl, the rear bracket block and the black nipple connector as shown. If you need extra blocks for a new pen, we can quote them separately.

Q3: What causes slow dripping from the nipple?

Common causes are grit trapped inside the nipple pin, a worn seal, or a water pressure that is too high. Flush the line first, then lower the regulator setting before replacing the nipple.

Q4: Do you supply matching drinking pipes and hanger straps?

Yes. We stock PVC drinking pipes, nipple hanger straps, pressure regulators and end caps. Send us your line length and we will assemble a bill of materials for the whole drinking system.
