Integrated Steel Ball Hanging Cup for Chicken

Product Overview

The SL-141 integrated steel ball hanging cup for chicken combines a yellow-orange clip, an L-shaped support arm, a flat square bowl and a red steel-ball nipple into one ready-to-hang unit. The L-arm positions the bowl slightly forward of the pipe, giving chickens a clear approach from the side without reaching through the line. The internal steel ball valve seals tightly after every drink, which keeps the litter under the line dry.

The unit stands 13.7 cm tall and its flat bowl measures 6.7 cm across, wide enough to catch drips from an active nipple while leaving the center open for the bird's beak. At 30 g per piece, the reinforced build handles frequent bird contact, and export packing holds 1000 pieces per box. The bright orange body stays visible on the line during daily house walks.

Key Features and Benefits

• L-Shaped Support Arm - the offset arm places the bowl slightly in front of the pipe, giving chickens a side approach that matches their natural head movement while drinking.
• Integrated Steel Ball Nipple - the red base contains a steel ball valve that seals after each drink, reducing drips and water waste across the whole line.
• Flat Square Bowl - the 6.7 cm flat bowl spreads caught water evenly and dries quickly, limiting biofilm buildup between cleanings.
• Reinforced 30 g Build - the heavier wall and thickened arm joints resist cracking when birds bump the unit, extending service life on busy lines.
• Top Clip Mount - the two-wing clip snaps onto the drinking pipe without tools, cutting installation time on long commercial lines.
• 1000 Pieces Per Box - export carton packing keeps bulk counts clear and supports container orders for integrators and distributors.

Materials and Quality

The orange body is molded from tough engineering plastic, with the L-arm and flat bowl formed in one piece. The clip wings are thickened to keep their snap after hundreds of installations, and all bowl edges are rounded so beaks cannot be injured. The red nipple base houses the steel ball valve and actuation pin under sealed assembly.

Each unit is pressure-checked for shut-off and visually sorted for color and molding before packing. The reinforced arm joints are sampled for impact resistance, so farms receive a consistent batch built for repeated daily contact with chickens.

The orange plastic is reinforced at the L-bend, the point where the offset arm carries the most stress, and the flat bowl base is thickened to resist warping. The red nipple base houses a protected steel ball cartridge.

The orange plastic is reinforced exactly at the L-bend, where the offset arm carries the greatest stress, and the flat bowl base is thickened so it stays level when loaded with caught water. The red nipple base protects the steel ball cartridge from dust and light. Batches are sampled for bend resistance at the arm joint, and finished units are visually sorted for correct orange shade. Replacement cups bought later match the originals, so mixed-age lines look consistent during house walks.

How to Use and Maintain

Open the clip wings, press the unit onto the pipe port and release until it locks, then confirm the flat bowl hangs level below the nipple outlet. Flush the line before first use and after each flock to remove sediment and water additives residue.

Rinse the bowl with clean water during routine walks and scrub it with a soft brush if mineral deposits appear. Replace any unit with a cracked arm, loose clip or dripping ball valve, and keep a stock of spares for fast swap-out during the rearing cycle.

Mount the clip so the L-arm points away from the aisle, giving birds a clear side approach to the flat bowl. If birds struggle to drink, check the arm direction first.

Wash the flat bowl with a soft brush, since its flat base can show mineral marks more than a round bowl. Check the L-bend for cracks at each change-out and retire any unit showing stress lines.

Applications

This integrated cup suits commercial chicken farms running automatic drinking lines in broiler, layer and breeder houses. The offset bowl is especially useful where birds approach the line from the side rather than from directly underneath.

It also serves poultry equipment distributors that sell complete drinking-line kits, and integrators ordering by the thousand for new projects. The unit packs efficiently with pipe, nipples, tees and float valves in mixed container loads.

Q3: How many units are packed per box?

Each export carton holds 1000 units as printed on the product label.

Q4: Can this replace separate nipples and cups on my line?

Yes, it is designed as a combined point; send your pipe diameter if you want us to confirm the clip fit first.
