🔗 The lock that holds the entire incubator together.
The GACOS is the hook with a threaded insert that connects the lower shell to the upper shell. If it breaks or loosens, the two shells will no longer seal properly, and you lose heat and moisture.

Quick diagnosis: shells that do not engage, broken or bent hook, stripped threaded insert, closure that does not hold.

Solution: Original FIEM GACOS for COSMO, COSMO EVO, and COSMO ML incubators. Price each.

📌 Real case: A customer in Treviso with a COSMO EVO had a car that wouldn't close properly and was losing heat. He thought it was an electrical problem, but it was just a broken GACOS. It was replaced in 2 minutes, and the problem was solved for less than 3 euros.

⚠️ When to replace: If the two shells no longer fit securely or you notice any play between the parts, check the GACOS immediately. An imperfect seal disperses heat and moisture.

⚙️ How does GACOS work?

The GACOS is the fastening system that holds together the two halves of the COSMO incubator: the lower body (bottom) and the upper body. It consists of a metal hook and a threaded insert that screw together, creating a secure and stable closure.

A tight seal is essential for maintaining a constant temperature and humidity inside the incubation chamber. If the GACOS are broken, loose, or missing, the two shells won't fit together perfectly, creating invisible gaps that disperse heat.

📋 Exploded view reference: This component corresponds to number 6 in the exploded view diagrams of FIEM COSMO incubators. Useful for identification during maintenance.


🔍 When to replace this part

Replace the GACOS if you notice:

  • Broken or bent hook: The metal hook has broken or become deformed.
  • Stripped threaded insert: the thread is worn and no longer holds.
  • Shells that don't fit together: the two shells no longer fit together securely.
  • Play between the shells: the two halves move even when they are hooked together.
  • Heat loss: the temperature fluctuates despite the heating element and thermostat working.

⚠️ Why it happens and what you risk

GACOS are damaged primarily by mechanical wear: opening and closing the incubator hundreds of times over the years stresses the mechanism. Excessive force when closing or accidental impacts can also break them.

A broken GACOS means an imperfect seal. Even a small gap between the two shells causes heat and humidity to escape. Temperature fluctuates, humidity drops, and hatching is affected. People often think it's a problem with the heating element or thermostat, but a few euros for a new GACOS will solve the problem.


✅ Compatibility verified

This hook is specific for FIEM incubators of the COSMO series:


📦 COSMO EVO / EVO Plus
Versions with color LCD control unit


📦 COSMO ML (MiniLed Advanced)
Version with 3-digit digital display

⚠️ Important note: This hook is specific to the COSMO series. It is NOT compatible with SMART, INCA, CIP CIP, or MG which have different locking systems.

🔧 Assembly in 3 simple steps

⏱ Estimated time: 2-5 minutes | 🔧 Tools: Phillips screwdriver (if needed)

  1. Remove damaged GACOS
    Unscrew or unhook the old GACOS from its mounting point. If the insert is stripped, you may need to remove it with pliers.
  2. Enter the new GACOS
    Place the threaded insert into the hole in the body and screw the hook until it locks securely.
  3. Final test
    Close the incubator and check that the two shells fit snugly together without any play. Try opening and closing them several times to make sure the latch holds securely.

🛡️ How to make them last longer

  • Every 6 months: check that the hooks are tight and that there is no play.
  • During use: close the incubator gently, without forcing the hooks.
  • ⚠️ DON'T: never force the door to close if the frames are not aligned, do not hang weights on the hooks.

Wet Bulb Hygrometer / Incubation Hygrometer

€24.50
Availability: 997 In Stock
Portable Wet Bulb Hygrometer / Incubation Hygrometer – Precision analog instrument for measuring relative humidity in incubators. Based on the psychrometric method, considered one of the most accurate.

When is it needed? To check the accuracy of digital sensors in control units, as an independent monitoring tool during critical cycles, to diagnose problems when hatching is not going well, or as the primary tool in incubators without a built-in hygrometer. Essential for breeders seeking a reliable, battery-free monitoring system.

Why the wet bulb method? This principle uses the evaporation of water from a damp cloth to determine relative humidity. It is considered one of the most accurate and reliable methods, with an accuracy of ±3% RH. Unlike digital hygrometers, it does not require power or frequent calibration.

Exclusive Benefits: Specifically calibrated for 37.8°C (incubation temperature), direct reading in %RH without tables, low measurement inertia, no batteries required, extremely accurate for the incubator environment. The set includes a ready-to-use humidifying cloth.

Comparison with a hair hygrometer: The wet bulb hygrometer offers faster response and greater accuracy (±3% vs. ±5-10% for hair). Hair hygrometers are sensitive to wear, dirt, and temperature, require periodic regeneration, and have slow response. For professional incubation, the wet bulb is the more reliable choice.

💰 Price: €24.50 (VAT excluded, shipping excluded) – FIEM COMO WAREHOUSE – Padovan Poultry Farming: professional tools for successful incubation.

Compatibility: Universal - works with any forced-air or still-air incubator

📦 Logistics: Dispatch within 1 business day, delivery within 2-4 days. Warranty: 24 months for private individuals / 12 months for VAT numbers.

Fiem Smart Gearmotor Protection Cover / Plastic...

€6.54
Availability: 1000 In Stock

🛡️ The gearmotor cover isn't just an aesthetic protection: it's the shield that protects the heart of the egg turning system from dust, humidity, and accidental tampering!

At just €5.36 (excluding VAT) , the 130-B cover protects the Smart's egg turning gear motor from external elements that could compromise its operation. It's more than just decorative plastic: it keeps the motor compartment isolated from the incubator's constant humidity, prevents dust from accumulating on the gears, and protects against accidental contact during operation.

🔒 As specified in the FIEM manual, the gearmotor is housed in an insulated compartment protected by this very cover. Without it, humidity from incubation penetrates the mechanism, dust accumulates, and the motor wears prematurely.

⚠️ When should you replace it? If it's cracked or broken, if it no longer seals the compartment tightly, if the plastic is warped and leaves cracks, if the attachment points are broken, or if it's missing after maintenance on the gearmotor.

💡 A missing or damaged cover exposes the expensive gearmotor (€44) to premature wear. For €5.36, you're protecting a much greater investment!

Specific for Smart , designed to perfectly close the gearmotor compartment.

📱 Is the lid not closing properly? Send us a WhatsApp photo of the compartment and lid.

🚚 Shipping from Como in 1 day. Minimum order €20. FIEM since 1975 , protection for every component. 24-month warranty for private individuals, 12 VAT numbers.
