Before beginning, read instructions
thoroughly and inspect parts listing to insure
that all parts have been included.
Preparation of Location:
Install drinker on a 4" (minimum) thick
concrete base, slightly raised for better
drainage. Before pouring concrete, have the
water and electricity connected up through a
4" or larger tile for final connections to the
drinker. Be sure the edge of the tile is
slightly raised above the concrete (approx.
1-1/2") so that water drainage does not go
into the open tile. The tile must be left open
to give access to warmer air below the frost
line, thus preventing the riser from freezing.
Be sure the riser pipe does not touch the
sides of the tile. Note: The concrete pad
should be at least 4" larger than the poly
CPE drinkers on all sides.

Place the drinker in the desired position and
drill 3/8" dia. x 1-1/2" (min.) deep holes, in
the concrete using the molded-in hold down
tabs at the base of the drinker as a guide.
Cut the proper size hole in the 1" insulation
board to fit over the riser tile. It is important
to use this insulation board to help insulate
and seal the bottom of the drinker. Enough
1" x 3/8" weather strip is included with your
drinker to seal the bottom of the drinker to
the concrete base and also to seal the float
cover to the drinker. Put weatherstrip on the
bottom of the drinker where it contacts with
the concrete base. If there are any gaps
bigger than 3/8", two layers of weatherstrip
can be put together to fill the gap. Please refer
to the sketch in these sheets for proper
placement of weatherstrip on the float cover.
Secure the drinker using 3/8" x 1-7/8"
expandable anchor bolts (purchased locally).
Water Line:
For connection of the drinker to the riser pipe,
a high pressure ¾" I.D. hose is supplied with
the drinker. A shut off valve which is easily
accessible should be used at each drinker. If
the drinker is to be shut down for the winter, a
Shut-off Kit (Item No. 54130168) that drains
the riser pipe to prevent freezing is available.
The supply line should be flushed before
drinker is connected. N0TE: Your drinker is
equipped with a 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 (54300968) to increase the
flow. (For hookup instructions see Technical
Information 70131).
Electrical Connections
(for PCPE, PCSE, XCPE, PFL-H & PCHE
models only):
NOTE: Electrical connections should be made
by a qualified electrician. The black wire from
the power supply must be connected to the
thermostat and the white wire from the supply
connected to the white wire on the heating
pad. The grounding wire from the supply
must be connected to the terminal in the
electrical box of the drinker.
The unit must be properly grounded to the
supply box and fused properly. The fuse size
is indicated on the red ground instruction tag.
