5-Gallon Galvanized Poultry Waterer

A heavy-duty standalone waterer for chickens, turkeys, and other poultry. Double-walled construction features an inner tube with a strong arched handle for carrying the filled fount and an outer tube with its own handle for convenience. When the outer tube is inserted over the inner tube, a copper spring and neoprene seal creates a vacuum to maintain a constant water level in the drinking pan. Features a locking pin to hold the outer tube in place. Sloped top prevents roosting. Constructed of heavy-gauge galvanized steel with rolled edges for safety. Seams are constructed and tested to prevent leaks. A key advantage of metal founts is the ability to use the fount in winter with a heater base such as the little giant electric water heater base (item no. Hb125, sold separately). This is not a hanging waterer; it must be placed on the ground or floor. 15.25-inches in diameter by 15.25-inches high, holds 5 gallons.
