Large automatic round poultry drinker with a diameter of 37 cm, suitable for supplying drinking water to various types of poultry. Can be used either suspended or standing on the floor and is designed for automatic water supply from a suitable low-pressure system. Not suitable for direct connection to mains water pressure.
This automatic round drinker makes everyday poultry watering easier. Its 37 cm diameter and circular drinking trough allow several birds to access the water from different sides at the same time.
When connected to a compatible low-pressure water reservoir, the drinker is supplied automatically, eliminating the need to refill a conventional container at the drinker manually on a regular basis.
Automatic Water Supply at Low Pressure
The drinker is designed exclusively for low-pressure operation.
A suitable pressure compensation water tank can be used to supply it. Such a tank can be automatically refilled from a mains water supply by means of a float valve, while delivering water to the drinker at a much lower pressure.
Important: Never connect this drinker directly to a pressurised mains water supply!
The height difference between the water surface in the reservoir and the drinker must not exceed 2 metres. This corresponds to a static water pressure of approximately 0.2 bar.
A greater height difference may produce excessive pressure and interfere with correct operation.
Hanging or Floor-Standing Installation
The round drinker can be used in two ways:
-
Suspended: Hang the drinker securely at an appropriate drinking height.
-
Standing: Place the drinker on a stable, level surface inside the poultry house.
This makes it possible to adapt the installation to different poultry species and ages.
Ensure that the birds can reach the drinking trough comfortably and that the drinker remains securely positioned.
Suitable for Different Poultry Species
The drinker can be used for a range of poultry, including:
The circular drinking trough provides access from several directions.
For very small chicks and quails, the smaller 23 cm mini round drinker may be more suitable.
1/4" Hose Connection
According to the HEKA catalogue, the drinker has a 1/4" hose connection and is supplied with 1.5 metres of matching hose.
When connecting to a low-pressure tank with a 3/8" outlet, an additional 3/8"-to-1/4" adapter is required.
Always ensure that the water supply is configured for low-pressure operation and that the maximum permitted height difference is respected.

Installation and Safety
Place the drinker on a level surface or suspend it securely using an appropriate mounting arrangement. Adjust the drinking height so that the birds can access the water comfortably.
Connect the 1/4" hose to a compatible low-pressure water supply. Use a suitable adapter when connecting to a tank with a 3/8" outlet.
The water surface in the reservoir must be no more than 2 metres above the drinker. Never connect the drinker directly to a pressurised mains water supply.
After installation, check that water is replenished correctly and inspect the tubing connections for leaks.
Clean the drinking trough regularly and remove feed residues, bedding and other contamination.
Automatic watering does not replace daily checks of the water supply. Protect the drinker and tubing against freezing.
