When using this Dual Drinker Kit in your chicken coop you should allow the chickens to peck down into this drinker nipple to drink. Remember do not mount this, or other Chicken drinkers, too low. Too low means damage and mess and can make it more difficult for your chickens to drink. The top of the drum or container should be no higher than 30 cm above the 4007 Drinker Cup, these are low pressure devices.
- Chooks should make some effort with feeders and drinkers, but both should be easy to use and access.
- Low Pressure device, this means that the water head (top of container) can be no more than 30cm above the height of the drinker cup. If pressure is too high the drinker cup with overflow.
- Kit is suitable for up to 8-10 Adult birds
- Dual Drinker Kit is also suitable for up to 15-20 Chicks per Cup (from day old up to 5 weeks) and growing birds - just remember to adjust the height of the Cup as chicks grow.
- Genuine and original #4007 Lubing chicken drinker cups - no alternations have been made to these drinker cups. They come with the original yellow float tonugue as designed by the manufacturer.
- Position this drinker at about half way between chook eye height (alert eye height) and the chickens back or sadlle, of your smallest chicken.
- Fittings are all Australian made poly fittings.
- Drum or Tank NOT included.
- Easy to install with a 3/4" screw fitting included, should fit most tap/plug connections on portable water tanks and drums.
- Tighten via the Black bung fitting only, tightening via moving the Drinker Cups will cause them to leak.
We have found that many people put poultry drinkers too low and then tell us of problems of dirty water and clogged systems in their chicken waterer.
