Low Pressure Cattle Drinking Bowl

The Low Pressure Cattle Drinking Bowl is a compact animal-activated watering unit designed for dairy cattle, beef cattle and other compatible livestock supplied from gravity-fed tanks, elevated reservoirs or reduced-pressure water systems.

The deep drinking bowl is manufactured from durable impact-resistant plastic and incorporates a smooth, retractable nose paddle. When fitted with a compatible low-pressure valve, the drinker provides dependable water delivery where conventional high-pressure farm water lines are unavailable or unnecessary.

Metal-reinforced mounting points, adjustable fixing slots and top or bottom water connections make the unit suitable for cattle barns, pasture systems, holding pens and livestock projects requiring flexible water-supply installation.

• Suitable for gravity-fed and compatible low-pressure livestock water systems.
• Durable impact-resistant plastic bowl for demanding cattle environments.
• Deep bowl supports convenient water intake for dairy and beef cattle.
• Smooth retractable nose paddle allows natural animal activation.
• Lockable paddle simplifies servicing and water-control procedures.
• Integrated brass pipe connector provides a secure water-line connection.
• Top or bottom water connection supports flexible pipeline layouts.
• Metal reinforcement improves mounting stability under repeated livestock contact.
• Four elongated fixing holes allow installation adjustment.
• Wall and pipe mounting configurations are available according to project requirements.

• Impact-Resistant Bowl: Deep moulded reservoir designed for regular cattle use.
• Nose Paddle: Animal-operated pressure tongue positioned above the drinking basin.
• Low-Pressure Valve: Optional valve configuration suitable for reduced-pressure or gravity-fed water supplies.
• Valve Actuator: Transfers paddle movement to the internal water-control mechanism.
• Brass Pipe Connector: Provides a durable threaded connection to the farm water line.
• Top and Bottom Connections: Allow water supply from either direction according to the pipeline arrangement.
• Metal Reinforcement: Strengthens the mounting area for livestock housing applications.
• Elongated Mounting Slots: Allow flexible positioning and alignment during installation.

The drinker operates through an animal-activated nose paddle. When cattle press the paddle with the muzzle, the mechanical linkage opens the valve and allows water to enter the bowl.

With the appropriate low-pressure valve installed, the unit can operate from a gravity-fed tank or other compatible reduced-pressure water source. Water continues to enter while the animal activates the paddle.

When the paddle is released, the valve closes automatically. This on-demand principle limits unnecessary standing water while providing animals with fresh drinking water when required.

Mounting: Install the bowl securely on a strong wall, pipe or cattle pen structure using suitable fasteners and all required fixing points.

Installation Height: Select a practical mounting height according to cattle size so animals can operate the nose paddle comfortably.

Water Connection: Connect the G 1/2" supply from above or below according to the water-line arrangement.

Low-Pressure Setup: Install the compatible low-pressure valve when the unit is connected to a gravity-fed or reduced-pressure water source.

Valve Testing: Operate the nose paddle manually after installation to confirm smooth valve movement and sufficient water delivery.

Cleaning: Rinse the bowl routinely and remove feed residue, sediment and biological contamination.

Maintenance: Inspect the paddle, valve, brass connector, seals, mounting reinforcement and water-line fittings periodically.

In a pasture installation, the drinking bowl can be supplied from an elevated storage tank using gravity pressure. This configuration can provide a practical watering point without requiring a separate booster pump where sufficient water head is available.

For integrated livestock projects, SHEWUYOU can configure drinking bowls together with water tanks, pipelines, mounting brackets, protective guards, cattle pens and other livestock watering equipment according to project requirements.

Q: What makes this a low-pressure cattle drinking bowl?
A: The bowl can be equipped with a dedicated low-pressure valve for use with gravity-fed or other compatible reduced-pressure water supplies.

Q: Can it be connected to an elevated water tank?
A: Yes. A compatible low-pressure configuration can be used with suitable gravity-fed water tanks or reservoirs.

Q: How does the animal obtain water?
A: The animal presses the nose paddle with its muzzle, opening the valve and allowing water to flow into the bowl.

Q: Is the bowl suitable for dairy cattle?
A: Yes. The deep bowl is designed to provide convenient water access for dairy and beef cattle.

Q: Can the water connection come from above or below?
A: Yes. The reference K71 design provides a G 1/2" connection with top or bottom connection options.

Q: Is the water flow adjustable?
A: Yes. The reference drinking bowl provides adjustable water flow, while actual performance depends on the installed valve and water pressure.

Q: Can the bowl be mounted on a pipe?
A: Yes. Pipe mounting is possible with compatible mounting brackets and stabilizing plates.

Q: Can protective guards be supplied?
A: Yes. Hot-dip galvanized guards and related mounting accessories are available according to project requirements.
