can be placed in the slot on the drain plug to keep it from rotating.
Mounting Instructions:
Note: The waterer is shipped with the float assembly installed on the right side
of the waterer bowl. The float assembly can be installed on either side of the

and the mounting nut and fiber washer from the float assembly. Reinstall the
float assembly on the left side and the square plastic plug on the right side of the
waterer before proceeding.

an inside corner if possible. Note: The waterer must be properly mounted to a
vertical surface. The waterer will not work properly laying on the ground.
3. Use the water bowl to measure and mark the mounting holes at the desired
mounting location.
4. Drill a hole in each of the two (2) marked locations.
a. If mounting the waterer with 3/8" lag screws, use a 1/4" dia. drill.
b. If mounting the waterer with 3/8-16" through bolts, use a 13/32" dia. drill.
5. Install the waterer as shown (see Figure 2 or 3).
Note: Always use the mounting plate provided.
6. Tighten the lag screws or through bolts securely and reinstall the float/arm
assembly and pin.
7. Wrap all supply line pipe thread connections (including the threads on the
valve) with Teflon thread sealing tape and connect the water supply to the
®
float assembly. DO NOT overtighten any fitting or supply line connection.
8. Check to make sure the waterer fills and shuts off properly.
9. The water level is preset at the factory; however, minor adjustments can be
made to increase or decrease the water level in the waterer if desired.
To adjust the water level, remove float arm assembly by pulling out the
connecting pin, loosen the float mounting screw and nut with a screwdriver,
then rotate the float arm up or down to achieve desired water level. Make sure
you retighten the mounting screw and nut securely.
