Retractable Sipper with Lixit® Valve for Primate

This modular unit operates on 28 V DC with a ground output causing the dripless Lixit® drinking valve to be inserted 0.625" (1.6 cm) into the test area. It is mounted on a 1/2 size modular panel. The Lixit® valve connects to a 28 V DC solenoid valve to prevent liquid flow when the Lixit® is retracted, even if the needle is displaced. This feature is provided because some primates may be able to reach the Lixit® needle with their fingers when the sipper is retracted, which would spill the liquid from the reservoir. Connect this valve to any suitable liquid reservoir with 0.25" (0.6 cm) Tygon® tubing.
