Double Arm Hanging Cup

Product Overview

The SL-26 double arm hanging cup is a light red plastic drip cup built around two supporting arms. The arms rise from the two sides of a square shallow bowl and join under the nipple clamp, giving the cup a stable frame that hangs straight under the water outlet. Because it weighs only 6 g, it is one of the lightest cups in the drinking line range, making it ideal for long automatic lines where every gram counts.

The cup stands 8 cm high and spans 6 cm across, with a bowl depth of about 6 cm, enough to catch drips without holding a large pool of standing water. The open top design lets birds see the nipple clearly, and the square bowl keeps caught water spread evenly instead of running to one side. It is a low-cost accessory for farms that want to reduce wet litter without buying heavier equipment.

Key Features and Benefits

• Twin Arm Support - two arms carry the bowl from both sides, keeping it level under the nipple even when birds bump against the hanging line.
• Ultra-Light 6 g Weight - the minimal mass puts almost no extra load on the drinking pipe and makes large line installations fast and easy.
• Square Shallow Bowl - the flat-bottomed bowl spreads caught water evenly and dries quickly between drinks, reducing biofilm buildup.
• Red One-Piece Body - the bright red plastic is easy to inspect and the single-piece molding avoids failure points at glued joints.
• Open Frame Design - the arms leave the sides open, so feathers and beaks do not get trapped and staff can check the nipple visually.
• Economical Spare Part - its simple shape keeps the unit price low, so farms can replace worn cups in bulk without a large budget impact.

Materials and Quality

The cup is molded from flexible red engineering plastic that bends slightly under contact instead of snapping. The twin arms are thickened at the joints with the bowl to resist repeated bumping from birds, and all edges are rounded. Incoming material checks and visual inspection of finished pieces ensure that every cup is free of cracks, short shots and rough surfaces before packing.

The thin-wall molding keeps the unit light while the arm joints are locally thickened to carry the hanging load. Red pigment throughout the plastic prevents wear spots from showing after long use.

The 6 g weight is achieved without thinning the arm joints, which remain locally thickened to carry the hanging load. Red pigment runs through the whole wall, so scuffs and light scratches do not show up as contrasting marks on the finished cup. Samples from every production batch are bent repeatedly to confirm the arms recover their shape, and cups that stay deformed are removed before packing. Farms receive a uniform product that weighs and hangs the same on every meter of the drinking line.

How to Use and Maintain

Hook the top clamp under the nipple body and let the two arms hang freely, making sure the bowl sits horizontal below the outlet. Rinse the cups with clean water at the end of each flock, and use a soft brush on the square bowl bottom if residues appear. Cups that become brittle after long UV exposure should be replaced proactively, and keep a small stock of spares for fast line repairs.

Hook the top clamp under the nipple and let the twin arms hang freely; if the bowl tilts, loosen and re-seat the clamp until the flat bottom sits horizontal under the outlet.

Because the cup weighs only 6 g, check it weekly during the flock rather than only at change-out, since light cups can shift when birds bump the line. Replace any cup whose arms have turned brittle from UV exposure.

Applications

This cup fits broiler finishing houses and layer farms running long hanging nipple lines, where its low weight supports the whole line economically. It is also suitable for breeder platforms where birds bump equipment frequently and a stable bowl position matters.

Small-scale farms and village poultry projects use it to upgrade simple nipple lines into drip-controlled systems. Equipment distributors list it as a fast-moving spare part, and it can be combined with other cups, nipples and tee fittings in mixed export orders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Why does this cup weigh only 6 g?

The thin-wall one-piece molding and open twin-arm frame keep material use to a minimum while keeping the cup strong enough for normal farm use.

Q2: Will birds knock it out of position?

The twin-arm design keeps the bowl hanging level; if a line is bumped hard, simply re-seat the clamp by hand.

Q3: Which nipple bodies does it fit?

The top clamp fits standard poultry nipples; share a photo of your nipple if you want us to confirm the fit.

Q4: Is this cup suitable for chicks?

Its shallow bowl suits growers and adult birds; for day-old chicks a smaller compact cup model is usually a better match.
