Please observe the information on mains voltage supplied on the delivery note.

3.4.2.2 Connection accessoriesLUBING offers a variety of accessories for the water connection. We recommend using the LUBING range of plastic pipes for pipe work into the housing unit. Apart from ø25 mm and ¾" pipes, this range also includes couplings, bends ,T-pieces, end caps and threaded connection pieces for both pipe diameters permitting all kinds of pipe work layouts. These components must be glued to ensure leak-proof assembly.

Please refer to section “3.4.2.4 Glued connections”.

The pipe system is secured to the wall or ceiling using ceiling clips, item no. 4349-01 for the 25 mm pipe and item no. 4329-01 for the 3⁄4" pipe. Mark the pipe layout and screw down the retainers, item no. 4329-01 / 4349-01. Then press the pipes into the retainers. Check the entire pipe system for leaks prior to commissioning.

LUBING recommends using the water connection kit for connecting the drinking line pressure gauge to the water supply. Depending on the kit, the following parts are supplied:

3.4.2.3 Fitting the water connection kitThe clamp must be fastened to the 3⁄4" pipe. Do this by drilling a hole 10 mm in diameter (2) in the water pipe.

Securing the clamp:1. insert the clamp (3) and thorn in the drilled hole on the pipe.2. make sure the O-ring seal is positioned correctly.3. place the top part of the clamp (1) on the pipe and secure using the two screws.4. secure one end (5) of the hose to the hose connector (4) using the clip. 5. screw the hose connector to the flat packing in the clamp (3). Insert the other end of the hose into the pressure regulator (6) hose connector and secure with a clip. This must be installed with flat packings in the case of ball valve (7) (see versions on the previous page). If required, the ball valve can be mounted between the pressure regulator and the hose connector (see graphic on right) if you wish to have the ball valve directly on the drinking line. Or you can mount it between the hose connector (4) and the clamp (3) in order to block the water supply directly at the supply point.

3.4.2.4 Glued connectionsLUBING recommends Tangit adhesive, item no. 4405, for glued connections.Many connection elements in the LUBING product range are designed as glued connections. Please observe the following manufacturer instructions in order to ensure secure connections.

The pipe must be cut at a right angle and burred. The areas to be glued must be clean and dry. Clean the ends of the pipe on the outside and the connecting elements on the inside using a cleaning agent (please check compatibility) and woven felt. Always use new woven felt. The areas to be glued must be fully dry before applying the adhesive.

Item no. 4150 Clamp ø3⁄4", hose nozzle, 4 m fibrous hose 1⁄2" and clipsItem no. 4151 Clamp ø3⁄4", hose nozzle, 4 m fibrous hose 1⁄2" and clipsItem no. 4152 Clamp ø3⁄4", hose nozzle, 5 m fibrous hose 1⁄2" and clipsItem no. 4153 Clamp ø3⁄4", hose nozzle, 3 m fibrous hose 1⁄2", ball valve and clipsItem no. 4154 Clamp ø3⁄4", hose nozzle, 4 m fibrous hose 1⁄2", ball valve and clipsItem no. 4155 Clamp ø3⁄4", hose nozzle, 5 m fibrous hose 1⁄2", ball valve and clips

ATTENTIONEnsure that there is no water in the pipe before drilling. Burr the drill hole. Rinse out any chips from the pipe. Do not commence assembly of the clamp until after flush first.

Page 11: Drinking systems...LUBING nipple drinking systems may only be operated, maintained and serviced by personnel familiar with these measures and the potential dangers associated with

Drinking systems - Battery management

Copyright © 2018 Lubing System - All rights reserved 11

Push the pipe and connecting element without twisting until the limit stop and hold tight for a few seconds until the glue has set. Immediately following joining, remove superfluous glue with the woven felt as otherwise the pipe will be etched too strongly. Owing to the fast setting features of the adhesive, the join parts must be pushed together within 4 minutes of applying the glue. The open period for Tangit depends on the ambient temperature and/or film thickness.

Stress: do not move the pipes for at least 5 minutes after gluing. At temperatures below 10°C, this period is extended to a minimum of 15 minutes.Pressure test: the pipes should not be filled nor should a pressure test be carried out until 24 hours after the last gluing procedure. We recommend flush pipes and possibly even leaving them full of water if they are not put into operation immediately.

Please observe the protective measures described by the manufacturer.Please also observe additional information in the data sheets and guidelines on the prevention of accidents supplied by the professional associations, e.g. (in Germany) VBG 15, VBG 81, M017 and the safety data sheets.

Tangit is highly inflammable. Its solvent vapours are heavier than air and can form explosive mixtures. For this reason, always ensure sufficient ventilation when processing, drying or gluing using Tangit. In workrooms and adjoining rooms: no smoking! no welding! No naked flames and avoid generating sparks! Prior to welding work, accumulations of solvent vapours and explosive mixtures must be removed. Fill pipelines with water, rinse well and blow through. Do not seal pipes during the drying phase.

Longer inhalation of these solvent vapours can lead to impaired health. Store used woven felt in closed containers.

If the substance comes into contact with the eyes, rinse thoroughly with water and consult a doctor.

Safety advice: – must be kept out of reach of children, – keep away from ignition sources – no smoking, – avoid contact with eyes, – if ingested, consult a doctor and show packaging or label.

3.4.3 Pressure regulating unitsThe pressure-regulating units (pressure regulator and ball tank) are used to reduce the water pressure at the drinking line to the operating pressure level (approx. 20 cm water column).

3.4.3.1 Pressure regulatorThe pressure regulators, item no. 3221-00 (one outlet) and item no. 3226-00 (two outlets), are supplied ready-assembled for the 22 mm square pipe.

AssemblyPlease observe the enclosed assembly and operating instructions for the pressure regulator.

the splash-water. The air channel [4] is mounted in the floor between the cages. – mounted adjustable in height in the centre of the cage:

the drinking line [6] is laid in the centre of the cage or in the back area of the cage via elongated holes in the partition wall [7]. The individual elements are connected using the expansion couplings [1]. The height is adjusted via a central traction rope or connecting rod [5]. The wire grip [4] is screwed to the suspension line [2] using this rope or rod. The other end of the suspension line is secured to the nipple pipe [6] using the nipple pipe clip [3]. The distance between the nipple pipe clips may not exceed 75 cm.

3.4.5 Breather unitThe choice of connection to the nipple pipe depends on the space available in the cage system and the length of the battery unit. In the case of cage systems longer than 60 metres, the drinking line needs to be interrupted or water is supplied through the centre of the cages in systems up to 120 metres in length.

There are three different types of connection for securing the breather units:1. gluing the breather units directly on to the square pipe (22 x 22mm, item no. 4225-00)2. gluing the breather units directly on to a circular pipe ( Ø 25mm, item no. 4226-00, or Ø 26.7mm (3⁄4"), item no. 4246-00)3. connection using a hose coupling and clip (item no. 4245-00)

3.4.5.1 Laying the breather unitsIn battery units with a manure belt, it is usually not possible to mount the breather units directly at the nipple pipe for reasons relating to space. The breather units are then secured outside the cage system. The elbow glue coupler, item no. 4343-04/4323-04, is used for laying the 22mm square pipe and square pipe pieces. A circular pipe is directed out through the side of the battery unit and connected to the breather units.

4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS4.1 Main water supply

4.1.1 GeneralThe main water supply is a unit switched in front of the drinking lines. It comprises all of the key components required for optimum water supplies. The components required for the main water supply are supplied ready-assembled. The stable metal bracket guarantees a secure, safe and waterproof connection of the components. The main water supply can thus be installed on the wall, usually in the front part of the building. The flange connections permit easy replacement of the individual components. The main water supply connections are formed by the ¾” interior threads on the ball valves (inlet and outlet).

The main water supply should be laid in such a way that it is protected from frost.

LUBING offers the following main water supply variants with mechanical doser: – item no. 4260: main water supply 3⁄4" with D25RE5 1-5%, – item no. 4260-1: main water supply 3⁄4" with D25RE5 1-5% and with flush back filter, – item no. 4260-2: main water supply 3⁄4" with D25RE5 1-5% and with solenoid valve 230V 50/60Hz NO, – item no. 4260-3: main water supply 3⁄4" with D25RE5 1-5%, with solenoid valve 230V 50/60Hz NO and

flush back filter, – item no. 4265: main water supply 3⁄4" with D25RE5 1-5% and bypass.

LUBING offers the following main water supply variants with electrical doser: – item no. 4261: main water supply with UniDos 1, item no. 4251 without bypass, – item no. 4262: main water supply con UniDos 2, item no. 4252 without bypass.

filter.

4.1.2 Main components of the main water supply4.1.2.1 The return valve

The return valve prevents anything from flowing backwards, e.g. medication, cleaning agents etc. into the water feed pipe.

4.1.2.2 The pressure-reducer valveThe pressure-reducer valve is used to keep the water pressure in the supply pipe under a maximum value of 3 bar. The pressure-reducer valve is not required in the case of water supplies via water towers (4-10 metres high) or high tanks.

4.1.2.3 The water filter and reversible flow filterThe water filter is an absolute necessity in every housing unit. It is used to filter out all of the dirt particles which could impair the function of the nipple seal. A chemical filter insert, item no. 9222, with a mesh size of 5 µm can prevent the formation of limescale and iron deposits by emitting a chemical substance. The working life of such filter inserts depends on how contaminated the water is.

Reversible flow filter: Operating pressure of 15 bar is required for backwashing. The backwash interval depends on how contaminated the water is. At the latest every 2 months, a backwash procedure must be carried out in accordance with DIN 1988, part 8. Filtered water can be removed

Page 18: Drinking systems...LUBING nipple drinking systems may only be operated, maintained and serviced by personnel familiar with these measures and the potential dangers associated with

Drinking systems - Battery management

Copyright © 2018 Lubing System - All rights reserved18

even during the backwash process. If the backwash water is not fed into a direct connection, a collection basin must be positioned under the reversible flow filter.

Backflushing:1. open the ball valve by turning the back flush knob [1] as far as it will go,2. close the ball valve again after approx. 15 seconds (heavily soiled filters may require longer flushing time),3. the memory ring [2] is used to note the next back flush date.

4.1.2.4 The water gaugeThe robust water gauge is particularly suitable where smaller flow volumes are involved. By adding an electric pulse generator, item no. 4230, the water gauge can be connected to a computer and integrated in an administration programme.

4.1.2.5 The solenoid valveFor safety reasons, the solenoid valve opens in the event of a power failure guaranteeing continued water supplies to the drinking lines. If a light/water programme is to be run, the solenoid valve should discontinue water supplies during rest periods. Depending on the size of the drinking system, filling the drinking line will require some lead time.

4.1.3 Mechanical doserThe mechanical doser works without electricity and is exclusively powered by the water flow. The device extracts the concentrate out of the mixer (please refer to 4.1.4) via a tube, proportions the set percentage and mixes it with the drive water in the mixing chamber. This solution is then directed into the drinking lines.

The volume flow for the mechanical doser is between:minimum flow rate of: 15 l/h maximum flow rate of: 2,500 l/h

where working pressure is between 0.3 and 4 bar.

The following doses can be set using the respective models: – item no. 4237: 0,2 to 1.6% – item no. 4238: 1 to 5% – item no. 4239: 2 to 10% – item no. 4237-1: 0,2 to 2%

4.1.5 MixerThe mixer continually mixes powdered or soluble medication via a rotary pump during the entire medication period.

The pump requires an electrical connection (standard: 230 V / 50 Hz).

The water is connected via a hose with a quick-fitting pipe union. When filling the container, the hose is plugged onto the top connection. When the water supply is switched off, the hose is plugged back into the lower connection. The float-type switch permits clear water to flow through and rinse the system once the medication tube has emptied.The mixer has a capacity of 60 litres (item no. 4248) or 180 litres (item no. 4258). Maximum operating pressure for the water supply is 4 bar.

4.2 Water supply to the drinking lines4.2.1 General

The following products are used in order to continually supply the drinking lines (nipple pipes with 22 x 22 mm) sufficiently and at the correct water pressure:

– water tank (please refer to 4.2.2) – ball tank (please refer to 4.2.3) – pressure regulator (please refer to 4.2.4)

Please ensure only good water quality is used in order to protect the components from wear. Use the main water supply to guarantee your system a long service life.

Please note section “4.2.10 Flush the drinking system”.

4.2.2 The water tank

The water tank is a variant of the water supply to the nipple pipe but without the flush device. The water tank does not have any adjustable settings for the outlet pressure. The floating valve with the floating ball maintains the water level in the tank.

Page 20: Drinking systems...LUBING nipple drinking systems may only be operated, maintained and serviced by personnel familiar with these measures and the potential dangers associated with

Drinking systems - Battery management

Copyright © 2018 Lubing System - All rights reserved20

4.2.2.1 Possible applicationsFor optimum results, we recommend:

– for drinking lines to approx. 60m: water tank item no. 4201-05 with one outlet – for two parallel drinking lines to approx. 60m: water tank item no. 4202-05 with 2 outlets

If the battery unit avails of sufficient space, the water tank can also be used for central water supply using drinking lines up to 120 metres in length.

4.2.2.2 Nozzles for the supply pipeThere are two nozzles for the water tank:

1. standard: 3.5mm nozzle (red in colour), for max. supply pressure of 3 bar (pre-set in the factory)2. variation: the 6mm nozzle (black in colour) is a spare part attached to the nozzle holder on the float lever (see graphic above). When water is supplied to the tank from a container with lower operating pressure, the red 3.5mm nozzle is replaced by this black one.

4.2.2.3 OutletsThe outlets are included with the tank and can be secured to it. This requires a hole/holes to be drilled in the tank (Ø 22mm) and the outlet(s) to be mounted. The outlets should be secured to a side wall in order to keep any dirt particles in a settling basin on the bottom of the tank which can be removed as required using a drain plug.

The outlets for the water tank: – angled outlet, item no. 4208-00 with hexagonal nut and sealing ring for 3⁄4"

hose, – straight outlet, item no. 4250-00 with hexagonal nut and sealing ring for 3⁄4"

hose.

4.2.3 The ball tankJust like in the water tank, the water column in the ball tank can not be adjusted. The ball tank also has a flush device facilitating cleaning of the drinking line.

The retaining bracket (see above) is released sideways from the red seal and the seal is pressed downwards. This locks the float in place and the float valve and its 7mm nozzle are open permitting the nipple pipe to be rinsed using the full flow volume.

4.2.3.1 Possible applicationsFor optimum results, we recommend:

– for drinking lines to approx. 60m: ball tank item no. 4206-00 with one outlet – for two parallel drinking lines to approx. 60m: ball tank item no. 4207-00 with 2 outlets

If the battery unit avails of sufficient space, the water tank can also be used for central water supply using drinking lines up to 120 metres in length.

4.2.3.2 OutletsThe outlet(s) is/are pre-mounted in the factory, secured to the tank by a 3⁄4” union nut and can be rotated in all directions. The outlet is designed for connection with a 3⁄4” hose.

4.2.4 The pressure regulatorUnlike the ball tank and water tank, the water pressure can be set where the pressure regulator is used. Like the ball tank, the pressure regulator has a flush device which facilitates cleaning of the drinking line.

4.2.4.1 Possible applicationsFor optimum results, we recommend:

– for drinking lines to approx. 40m: pressure regulator item no. 3221-00 with one outlet – for two parallel drinking lines to approx. 40m: pressure regulator item no. 3226-00 with 2 outlets

If the battery unit avails of sufficient space, the water tank can also be used for central water supply using drinking lines up to 80 metres in length.

4.2.4.2 OutletsThe outlet(s) is/are the yellow transition pieces. These are connected directly to the nipple pipe. The O-rings in these transition pieces seal the system obviating the need to glue the components.

4.2.5 Breather unitsThe primary function of the breather units is to ventilate the drinking line. They are also responsible for displaying the pressure in the nipple pipe which is displayed via the red plastic ball in the rise pipe. Furthermore, the balls seal the breather unit hole in the rise pipe during the flush process.

The plug attached to the rise pipe can be opened using the bayonet catch and removed for cleaning enabling the rise pipe to be cleaned using a bottle brush.

4.2.5.1 Connecting the breather units for flush

Water unable to flow off can lead to a pressure build-up in the drinking lines which can in turn damage the components.

Water column [1]: the red ball indicates the height of the water column. It should be between 20 and 25cm.

Water connection [2]: hose nozzle for ½" hose.

Flush system [3]: the integrated flush system is activated by turning the red lever.

Adjusting wheel [4]: the water pressure can be set by the red adjusting wheel. The height of the water column is read off at the ball.

Breather unit, item no. 4245-00 Breather unit, item no. 4226-00

NOTEBreather units must be equipped for flush before the actual flush process is initiated.

During the flush process, the plastic ball indicating the water column automatically seals the ventilation plugs in the rise pipe.The water must be directed out of the building via a hose connection attached to the breather unit. The following solution can be applied:The water flows through a rinse pipe into the rinse drain higher up. This must be at least 100mm above the highest possible point in the breather unit. A 100mm drainpipe can be used as a rinse drain.

The breather units, item no. 4225-00, 4226-00, and 4246-00, have a ¾" interior thread at the connection for the water outlet which is sealed by a sealing plug.The transition piece, item no. 4328-04, or straight outlet, item no. 4249-00, can be used for connecting the thread to the hose.

The breather unit, item no. 4245-00, has a ¾” exterior thread sealed with a union nut.

4.2.6 The flushing processThe drinking lines should be flushed after each flock. Flushing will help you to maintain safe operation of the drinking lines in the long term. The following information should be considered when your system is being planned.This information is not necessary to ensure your system runs smoothly but will facilitate working with the drinking lines.

– The water tank does not have any flushing device for the drinking line. You will have to separate the lines from the water tank to the nipple pipe and connect them with the water supply. Like the water tank, the pressure may not exceed 3bar as otherwise components could be damaged.

– The ball tank and pressure regulator have an integrated flush unit. You do not need to implement any changes in order to rinse the drinking line. As the water pressure in the supply pipe may not exceed 3bar, not all of the drinking lines can be rinsed simultaneously. You should position shut-off valves in front of the individual pressure regulators or ball tanks enabling you to rinse each drinking line individually.

Please note at use of the automatic flushing system, the separate installation and operating instructions 0950 Automatic flushing.

4.3 Drinking nipples and accessories in laying cages4.3.1 General

The nipple pipe is usually at the back of individual laying cages. The feed band runs along outside the front of the cage necessitating all of the birds/animals to move between their food and drinking supplies. This movement ensures that all of the birds/animals are equally nourished.

4.4 Drinking nipples and accessories in breeding cages

4.4.1 Nipples for breeding

The TOP-nipple and the TOP-Combi nipple are always used with the drip cup, item no. 4612. By reducing the water volume, these nipples can be used without a drip cup. The item no. 4077 are for the reduced TOP-nipple and 4078 for the reduced Top-Combinipple.

4.4.2 Height adjustmentThe height of the drinking line should be set according to the following table.

NOTE1. The LUBING top nipple opens when operated at the side and vertically,2. The nipple pipe with drip cups must be height-adjustable.

4.4.3 Additional water supplyAn open water supply is required for breeding some animals, e.g. brown birds. An automatic drinking unit can be installed for the first 8 to 10 days in order to reduce the number of defects. It is equipped with a clamped holder to facilitate swift and easy replacement of accessory parts. This clamped holder is easy to clamp onto and unclamp from the nipple pipe.

In the case of the LUBING SnapCup, item no. 4017-01, the water is in the cone-shaped cup. The clamped holder on the snap cup permits it to be easily replaced by a drip cup. Unlike snap cup item no. 4017-01, SnapCup 4019-01 is rotated 90°, e.g. for installation on a partition wall.

ATTENTIONDo not exceed the maximum pressure of 30 cm water column!

Item no. 4017-01 Item no. 4019-01

The LUBING StarterCup, item no. 4060, is also clipped directly onto the square pipe using the clamped holder. An adapter plugged onto the nipple (either stainless steel or combi nipple) links it to the starter cup and fills it. After the first week, the starter cup and nipple adapter are simply unclamped from the nipple pipe.

In the case of the SnapCup and StarterCup, the water level is regulated by a float.

4.4.4 Drip cupsThe drip cup, item no. 4612-00, is mounted on the height-adjustable drinking line in breeding cages. These drip cups are secured at the position of the drinking nipple directly on the square pipe. The seal is pressed in and can be removed again using a screwdriver.After approx. 8 to 10 days, the clamped drip cup, item no. 4615-01, or the variant rotated through 90°, item no. 4616-01, replaces the snap cup, item nos. 4017-01 or 4019-01, which supplies the brown birds in particular with open water during the first few days in the breeding cage (2.1.3). The clamped holder on the drip cup and snap cup permit them to be replaced swiftly and easily. The drip cup is then replaced by the snap cup before the next passage.

5. ENCLOSURES/TECHNICAL DETAILS5.1 Necessary drinking water consumption depending on the ambient temperature and laying performance

The laying period starts after about the 19th week. Laying performance depends on the drinking water consumption and ambient temperature. Average water consumption at an optimum temperature of 15 to 20°C is 250 to 300g water per bird/animal and day.

ATTENTIONDo not exceed the maximum pressure of 30 cm water column!
