Watering

VAL-CO Watering Systems

Water is the key ingredient to growing a healthy flock of birds. We pride ourselves in manufacturing the preferred poultry watering system; we revolutionized the poultry industry with our nipple drinker technology, and have remained the industry leader ever since. Our extensive line of Roasters, Quenchers, and PFAs, guarantee that you have the perfect drinker for every flock.

Val Nipple Drinkers are held to the tightest tolerances in the industry. Precision-machined parts are turned in our ISO-9001 Certified screw manufacturing facility. This means your floors stay drier, your birds stay healthier, and they still receive just the exact right amount of water every time they activate the trigger pin.

Has your integrator asked you to grow a bigger bird? No nipple change is necessary for varying bird sizes. All you need is a new standpipe! The tolerances on the Val Drinker System are held so tight that they can supply a wide variety of flow rates depending on the supplied pressure. To increase the pressure in the line, just use a taller standpipe!

Roasters

Our Premium line of drinkers, the Roasters (VR150 series), are all machined on CNC or Swiss Screw Machines out of a harder stainless steel material than the Quencher models. The Roasters have a bigger trigger pin that resists wear better than the Broiler Drinker (VBL 150).

The VBL 150 Broiler Drinker is made through the same machining process with the same materials, but designed for broilers and smaller birds.

The best of our world famous VAL-CO nipples, the Roaster nipples (VR150 series), are made from the hardest quality stainless steel used in the industry and individually turned on CNC – Swiss precision lathes.

The Roaster nipples have an optimal triple seal that, with proper management, makes the use of drip cups unnecessary. The Roaster has a thick wear-resistant nipple pin and is particularly suitable for heavier animals such as broilers, breeding animals and ducks with a high water requirement.

The VBL150 drinker is made of the same top quality stainless steel and with the same precision machining but has a thinner nipple pin, gives less water and is designed for lighter broilers, laying hens and rearing animals.

Premium Roasters
- Controlled flow VR150L
- Standard flow VR150
- High flow VR150H
- Extra High flow VR150HX
Premium Layer
- Standard flow VBL150

PFAs

PFA, or Precision Feather Action, models have all the value of the standard Roaster but with feather-light side action, where even the slightest touch produces water flow. Available on Roasters, Quenchers, and Aqua-V models.

Premium PFA
- Controlled flow VR150LPFA
- Standard flow VR150PFA
- High flow VR150HPFA
- Extra High flow VR150 HXPFA

Quenchers

Our Value drinkers, the Quenchers, are designed to the same tolerances as the Roasters, but made with more cost effective materials, giving you the same great performance at a more economic price.

The Quencher nipples have an optimal triple seal that, with proper management, makes the use of drip cups unnecessary. The Quencher has a thick wear-resistant nipple pin and is particularly suitable for heavier animals such as broilers, breeding animals and ducks with a high water requirement.

The Quencher line (VQ150 series) is made with the same precision from less hard stainless steel and is an economical alternative to the Roaster.

Quencher PFA
- High flow VQ150HPFA
- Extra High flow VQ150MPFA

Breeders

Made of the same material and high-quality stainless steel as the VR150 series of drinkers. The breeder drinkers use up-action only to reduce wear caused by adults birds. It’s designed especially for the breeder market so has a high resistance to wear. Available in low flow and standard flow options.

Aqua-V™

The Aqua-V nipple drinker is the next big thing in watering. Developed for the cage-free layer market, it’s ideal for use in convertible and aviary systems. Made of precision machined stainless steel, the Aqua-V is offered in standard and high-flow variants. It offers all of the precision quality you expect from world-famous VAL-CO nipple drinkers, in a bright new color.

The Aqua-V drinking nipple is the latest development in drinking nipples and has been developed for enriched and aviary systems, among other things. The Aqua-V is made from the same precision stainless steel process and is offered as an alternative to the VBL150 in standard and High-Flow variants.

The nipple has a slightly fluorescent color which is easily found by the animals, even in systems where lighting is not optimal. The Aqua-V offers the same top quality you would expect from VAL-CO nipples in a bright new color with the strong price advantage of the Quencher.

Aqua-V
- Standard flow VA150
- High flow VA150H
Aqua-V PFA
- Controlled flow VA150LPFA
- Standard flow VA150PFA
- High flow VA150HPFA

Broiler/Layer

VBL 150 drinkers are a smaller version of the VR150 series designed for smaller birds. Made of the same high quality stainless steel material.

Duck

The VR150HXDPFA Duck Drinker is made of premium stainless steel material. The high-flow drinker has higher flow rates to meet the specific needs of waterfowl breeds.

Watering Accessories – Regulators, Standpipes, Intakes Regulators

Our series of regulators can fit a variety of needs:

VR202 is designed for floor birds
VR203 is designed to attach to the middle of larger house watering lines
VR204 is an adjustable slope regulator designed for use in barns with downward sloping lines
VR205 is an adjustable regulator designed to level the peaks of a pump-driven watering line
VR209 is an inline regulator that helps maintain stable pressure throughout a sloped line in floor-bird houses

Standpipes

Rigid, flex, or folding standpipes allow you to choose the best for your farm.

All standpipes now come with the TruSeal™ Standpipe Cap! The TruSeal is able to “breathe” air, but not leak water. The new cap can inhale or exhale the required amount of air as the pressure in the drinker line changes, but seals against water when the drinker lines are flushed, helping prevent messy water spills.

Intakes

EZ Flush Intake makes water line flushing easy and clean. With 3/4” hose and openings, the EZ Flush Intake can clear larger debris from your pipe. The VAL-CO EZ Flush Intake works with all of our standard diaphragm regulators. An optional solenoid enables automatic flushing.
