Perfect for DIY Chicken Waterers
Whether you're replacing a damaged cup or building your own drinker, this cup fits perfectly into most DIY systems. Install into buckets, drums, or pipes with a 9mm drill bit and 1/8" BSPF thread tap. Use thread tape and a rubber O-ring for a leak-free seal.
Low-Pressure System Only
Lubing Cups are designed for gravity-fed, low-pressure systems. For best results, ensure your water container is no more than 35 cm (13.8 inches) above the cup base to prevent overflow due to excessive head pressure.

Backed by a 1-year warranty, this cup is the same quality used in all Dine-A-Chook drinkers. We're here to support you every step of the way with reliable gear and genuine advice.

Lubing Cup – Single FAQs
1. Is this a genuine Lubing brand cup?
Yes. This is an authentic German-made Lubing Drinker Cup — the same high-quality component we use in all our Dine-A-Chook drinkers. It also includes our exclusive float upgrade for better refill performance.
2. What tools do I need for installation?
Use a 9mm drill bit and a 1/8" BSPF thread tap to install the cup into a PVC pipe, bucket, or other container. We recommend thread tape and a rubber O-ring to ensure a leak-free seal.
3. Will this work with any type of drinker system?
This cup is designed for low-pressure, gravity-fed water systems. It should not be used with mains water or pressurised lines, as this can lead to overfilling or leaks.
4. What is the recommended water container height?
Keep the water height below 35 cm (13.8") from the base of the cup. This helps control head pressure, ensuring proper refill function and preventing overflow.
5. Can I use this cup to replace a broken one?
Yes. This cup is ideal as a replacement part for DIY or commercial systems. It fits into most standard setups, including existing Dine-A-Chook drinker outlet frames.
6. Will my chickens know how to use it?
Chickens typically learn how to drink from a Lubing Cup naturally. If needed, tap the float to release a bit of water — curious birds will catch on quickly.
7. Is this safe for chicks or smaller birds?
Yes, but for very young chicks, we recommend shallower or chick-specific watering options. This cup works well for adult chickens, ducks, and other poultry.
8. Is there a warranty included?
Yes. The Lubing Cup is covered by a 1-year warranty and backed by our Dine-A-Chook support team.
9. Do you ship to the USA?
We dispatch daily from our Australian warehouse. Choose Standard (9–12 business days) or Express (5–8 business days) shipping at checkout. All orders are tracked and insured.
10. Can this be used with other poultry?
Yes. Lubing Cups are suitable for chickens, ducks, guinea fowl, and other poultry or game birds — just ensure your system is low-pressure and accessible to the birds.
DIY Installation Tip
For best results, drill a 9mm hole and tap it using a 1/8" BSPF thread tap. Add thread tape and an O-ring to prevent leaks. Keep water height under 35 cm (13.8") for low-pressure operation. Lubing Cups work best in gravity-fed systems like buckets or drums — never connect to mains water.
