Nipple Drinker Cup Set

Product Overview

The nipple drinker cup set is shown mounted on a white horizontal PVC pipe: red clamp hangers clip around the pipe, yellow nipple drinkers hang from the clamps, and shallow red catch cups sit below each nipple. This is the complete drinking line that a farm needs, rather than a single cup. The clamp hangers slide along the pipe, so the farmer can space the drinking points to match the flock density, and the catch cups collect any drops that fall after the birds drink.

The system works on the standard nipple principle: a bird's beak triggers the yellow nipple, and released water drops into the red catch cup below. The shallow cup catches drips between visits, which keeps the litter dry and reduces the growth of bacteria in the pen. The clamp design means the pipe itself is not drilled, so the whole line can be re-spaced or moved without damaging the pipe. This listing covers the clamp hangers, yellow nipples and red catch cups as a matched set.

Key Features and Benefits

• Complete pipe-mounted set - Clamp hangers, yellow nipples and red catch cups arrive together, so the farmer can build a drinking line from one order.
• Sliding clamp spacing - The red hangers slide along the PVC pipe, so drinking points can be spaced to match flock density without drilling.
• Yellow nipple markers - The bright yellow nipples are easy to spot during a daily walk-through, which makes blocked or stiff nipples faster to find.
• Shallow catch cups - The red cups collect drips between drinks, which keeps bedding dry and limits water waste.
• No drilling required - The clamp hangs on the outside of the pipe, so the pipe surface stays intact and the line can be re-spaced later.
• Matched colors - Red clamps and cups with yellow nipples give a consistent look that staff learn to recognize quickly.

Materials and Quality

The red clamp hangers are molded in a firmer plastic that clips tightly around the PVC pipe, and the yellow nipple housings are reinforced around the threads. The shallow catch cups are smooth inside, so they rinse clean in seconds. We check that each clamp slides easily on a standard pipe and holds its position after tightening, and that the yellow nipple opens with a light beak touch. Sample sets are assembled on a test pipe and run with a short water check, confirming that the cups catch the drips and no water seeps around the clamp.

How to Use and Maintain

Slide the red clamp hangers onto the horizontal PVC pipe at the spacing your flock needs, usually one point per 10 to 15 birds. Screw the yellow nipple into the clamp outlet, and hang the red catch cup below. Run the water in gently and watch the first drops fall into the center of each cup. Weekly, unclip the catch cups, rinse them with clean water, and wipe the yellow nipple pins with a soft cloth. If a clamp becomes loose on the pipe, check the pipe diameter, because a stretched clamp should be replaced rather than taped back into place.

Applications

This set suits layer houses, breeder pens and small commercial farms that want a complete drinking line without sourcing separate parts. The sliding clamp spacing makes it easy to adapt to different flock densities, and the shallow catch cups help keep the litter dry in houses on wood shavings. Free-range growers also use the set in sheltered drinking stations, where the pipe runs along a rail and the cups hang inside the birds' reach.

Distributors like the set format because it sells as a complete package with no missing parts. The matched red and yellow colors give a strong shelf presence, and the clamps and cups pack flat for container loading. Hatcheries recommend the set to new customers, because it comes with everything needed to start a small drinking line, which reduces follow-up questions about missing components.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Does the set include the PVC pipe?

The set includes the clamp hangers, yellow nipples and red catch cups. The white PVC pipe itself is sold separately, and we can quote pipe, end caps and pressure regulators in the same order.

Q2: What pipe size do the clamps fit?

The clamps are sized for standard horizontal PVC drinking pipes. If your pipe is a custom diameter, send us the measurement and we will confirm the match before shipment.

Q3: How do I space the drinking points?

A common rule is one point per 10 to 15 laying hens, with closer spacing in hot weather. Slide the clamps along the pipe to match your flock density, and add a few extra points as spares.

Q4: What causes slow dripping from the nipples?

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