Straight Arm Type Suspension Cup

Product Overview

The SL-35 straight arm type suspension cup is a red plastic hanging cup that clips onto a poultry nipple drinker and hangs a round bowl directly below the water outlet. Its straight vertical arm keeps the bowl perfectly centered under the nipple, so every drip lands inside instead of on the litter. The design is the straight-arm companion to the bent-arm model, chosen by farms that prefer a symmetrical, centered hanging position.

The whole cup stands 14 cm tall and weighs 16.4 g, light enough to keep the drinking line comfortable to install. The snap-on top clamp grips the nipple body firmly, and the smooth round bowl rinses quickly between flocks. The bright red color keeps every cup visible during house walks, making it easy to spot missing or damaged units at a glance.

Key Features and Benefits

• Centered Straight Arm - the vertical arm holds the bowl directly under the nipple outlet, so drips always land inside the bowl rather than on one side.
• One-Piece Red Plastic Body - arm, clip and bowl are molded together, removing glued joints that could split under daily bird contact.
• Light 16.4 g Weight - low mass adds almost no load to the drinking pipe and allows fast hand installation along long lines.
• Snap-On Top Clamp - the clip fits over standard nipple bodies without tools, speeding up repairs and cup replacement between flocks.
• Round Drip Bowl - the smooth bowl catches water shaken off by the birds and cuts down wet patches around each nipple position.
• Easy to Inspect and Clean - the bright red color and simple surfaces make daily checks and between-flock rinsing quick for farm staff.

Materials and Quality

The cup is injection-molded from flexible red engineering plastic in a single piece. The top clip is resilient enough to open and reclose many times during installation, yet firm enough to hold position on the nipple. All bowl edges are rounded to protect the birds' beaks, and the arm junction with the bowl is thickened against cracking.

Material batches are sampled for brittleness before production, and every finished cup is visually checked for flash, cracks and correct color. The one-piece shape means no internal glue seam to fail, which supports a long service life under normal poultry house conditions.

The straight arm distributes hanging load evenly down its length, and the one-piece molding removes the seam risks of glued cup assemblies. Red pigment stays uniform under indoor lighting.

The straight arm distributes the hanging load evenly along its length, which helps the cup stay level even on slightly swinging lines. The one-piece molding removes the seam risks of glued cup assemblies, and red pigment runs through the plastic so the color stays uniform indoors. Batches are sampled for clip tension, and finished cups are visually checked for flash or cracks before packing. Replacement cups bought later match the originals, so a repaired line looks consistent during inspection walks.

How to Use and Maintain

Press the top clip over the nipple body until it snaps into place, then check that the straight arm hangs vertical and the bowl sits level under the outlet. Rinse the cup with clean water at the end of each flock, and use a soft brush inside the bowl if residues appear.

Inspect clip tension during routine line walks and replace any cup that has become brittle or deformed. If a cup sits crooked, simply re-seat the clip by hand; no spare parts are needed for this adjustment.

Fit the clip so the arm hangs vertical; a tilted arm moves the bowl off-center and misses drips. A quick sweep along the line after fitting catches any tilted cups.

Rinse bowls after each flock and air-dry before reinstalling. Store spare cups flat in a dry room, away from direct sunlight, to keep the plastic flexible.

Applications

This cup suits broiler houses, layer farms and pullet rearing operations running nipple drinking lines. The centered bowl position is especially useful on hanging lines that need symmetrical drip collection at every point.

It also serves as a standard spare part for distributors supplying local poultry farms, and mixes well into export orders with bent-arm cups, nipples, tees and float valves. Small farms use it to upgrade open drinker systems into controlled nipple setups.
