Before beginning, please read the instructions

thoroughly to make sure you have all of the

necessary components for your installation.

Location of the Drinker

If you are installing your drinker in a new

location some things can be done to enhance

the performance of your drinker and lower your

operating costs. If the drinker can be located

in a sheltered area, especially shielded from

the north wind, then the heater will need to

operate less and livestock will be more likely to

drink more.

However, we realize that it is not always

possible to locate the drinker in a sheltered

area, but even if the drinker is exposed and out

in the open, it would still be advantageous by

locating the drinker with the access door to the

south.

Water Supply Line

When installing your drinker please comply

with all local plumbing codes. The horizontal

underground water supply line should be ¾”

with a ¾” supply riser pipe. A ¾" I.D. pressure

hose is supplied with your drinker. We

suggest connecting the flex hose with 3/4" NPT

x 3/4" hose barb connectors and hose clamps

(these can be purchased locally) to the riser

pipe.

If desired, a shut-off valve can be installed

under the drinker to allow for easier servicing.

Note:

If the heat is going to be shut off during

the winter, a means must be provided to drain

the supply line down below the frost line to

prevent freezing of the riser pipe. Tip:

Behlen

Country has a shut-off valve kit (54130118) that

can be used to shut off the water supply and

drain the riser pipe.

Before hooking up your drinker, the supply line

MUST BE

flushed to ensure that no

contaminates will foul the valve upon start up of

your drinker. NOTE:

Your drinker is equipped

with a Franklin BL valve that is easy to clean

and adjust. If low water pressure conditions

exist and a higher flow rate is desired, a larger

inlet is available (3888247).

Preparing the Mounting Platform

Install the drinker on a 4" (minimum) thick

concrete base, slightly raised above the

ground level for better drainage. (Note: The

pad should be a minimum of 4” larger than the

drinker.) For the EWPED Drinker, a 24” x 34”

minimum pad is required. If you are replacing

a drinker and going to use an existing platform

made for a different drinker, it must have a 24”

x 34” flat mounting area. If it doesn’t have a

large enough area, you can pour a cap over

the existing platform to enlarge it or replace the

platform.

Extending the platform provides animals with a

secure place to stand while drinking. If you

extend the platform beyond the minimum it is

advisable to slope the platform outside of the

mounting area to promote better drainage. A

smooth surface is recommended for the

mounting area of the drinker and rough surface

on the area where the animals will stand to

drink. If you are pouring a new platform you

have the option of using anchor bolts set into

the concrete when wet or drilling and using

expandable anchor bolts after the concrete has

cured to mount your drinker. Refer to

illustration # 1 for detailed measurements of

the hole pattern.
