Heavy Duty Versatility
This versatile, heavy-duty drinker is built for frequent use and will accommodate all large and small animals, including elk, mule deer, bighorn sheep, and bats.
Use With or Without Float-Valve. The 26" depth of this drinker allows it to be connected to one or more storage tanks as part of a free-flow, "equilibrium" system, thus eliminating the need for a float valve. In this case, a large 2" bulkhead fitting is used for durability and maximum water flow. This simplifies maintenance and reduces complications from freezing. More information on setting up an Equilibrium System.
You may also choose to connect directly to a water line-in and use a float-valve system. The float valve is positioned under the escape ramp to help protect it against moderate freezes and tampering by curious animals.
Install Above-Ground or In-Ground. The Drinker-310 is designed to install either above-ground or directly in-ground. The heavy-duty ribs and a galvanized 12-gauge "Belly Frame" have been incorporated to facilitate constant use by large animals and resist any outward bulging from water pressure or inward pressure from ground compaction.
Step Plates Added. Each step has an additional textured step plate added to ensure traction, stiffness and durability.
Your choice of Plumbing Options. Choose Either:
2" bulkhead fitting for high-capacity equilibrium water flow.
Or, a standard 1/2” float-valve system.
