4 liter Poultry Drinker

Product Overview

The 4 liter Poultry Drinker is a mid-range gravity waterer aimed at broiler grow-out and medium backyard flocks. A translucent 4-liter barrel sits on a red round tray, and a curved metal wire handle arches over the top for carrying. Printed markings give a 24 cm overall height, a 14 cm top width and a 25 cm tray diameter, with a unit weight of 190.0 grams. The metal handle is the visible difference from smaller all-plastic models: it stays rigid under a full barrel and survives repeated lifting without cracking.

Water flows into the tray from the barrel neck by gravity, stopping automatically when the water seal forms, so no adjustment is needed after filling. The barrel and tray separate in one motion, and the handle pivots out of the way during filling. This size fills the gap between the 2.5 liter starter drinker and the 6 liter house drinker, suiting flocks of a few dozen birds that are moved between pens often. The combination of a rigid steel handle and a translucent barrel gives this unit a distinct identity on a farm shop shelf, especially where customers ask for durable gear.

Key Features and Benefits

• Metal carry handle - The arched wire handle carries a full 4 liter load without bending, even with wet or gloved hands.

• 4 liter capacity - Matches daily intake of a medium flock, cutting the number of refill rounds during hot weather.

• Gravity seal feeding - The tray keeps a steady shallow water level that stops automatically once the air seal forms.

• 25 cm round tray - Gives several broilers drinking room at once and keeps splash contained within the rim.

• Transparent-level barrel - Staff can see how much water remains before picking the drinker up for a refill.

• 150 pieces per carton - Balanced carton size for retail shelves and container loading alike.

Materials and Quality

The barrel and tray use the same molded plastic family as the rest of the drinker line, while the top handle is formed from metal wire with bent end hooks that lock into molded lugs on the barrel rim. This combination keeps the plastic lid light while borrowing the strength of steel where lifting force concentrates. The red tray rim is rounded to protect beaks, and the barrel mouth sits squarely so the tray seats without rocking. Units pass a fit check between lid, handle and tray before packing. The metal handle hooks lock into molded lugs on the barrel rim, a detail that keeps the grip secure even when the barrel is cold or wet. Staff who carry units often appreciate the steel handle because it spreads the load across two fingers and never flexes under a full barrel.

How to Use and Maintain

Fill the barrel with clean water to below the neck, hook the tray onto the barrel mouth and invert the unit onto a flat floor spot. Lift the drinker by the metal handle when moving pens, but refill by setting the unit down, separating the tray and filling the barrel upright. Wash the tray channel weekly and check the handle hooks stay seated; if a hook slips, reseat it into the lug. In broiler houses, place one drinker per feeding zone and move it a meter or two during litter turning so droppings do not accumulate directly underneath. During weekly cleaning, check that the wire handle pivots freely and that both hooks remain seated in their lugs, reseating a slipped hook immediately. In broiler houses, move the drinker a short distance whenever you turn the litter to avoid droppings building up underneath.

Applications

This drinker suits broiler grow-out floors, medium layer flocks and free-range pens where birds are moved between houses. It is also practical for exhibition poultry breeders who transport birds and need a portable waterer that stands up to loading and unloading.

Importers find the 150-piece carton flexible: it fits both small retail orders and larger mixed containers that combine drinkers, feeders and leg-mounted versions. The metal-handle model is commonly stocked as the durable option in a farm shop range.

It is sized for a medium group; commercial growers place units by drinking distance rules, typically spacing one per pen section so every bird can reach water within a short walk.

Q2: Will the metal handle rust?

The handle is formed wire used in standard poultry drinker production; keep units rinsed and stored dry, and inspect hooks seasonally for wear.

Q3: Can I hang this drinker at adjustable height?

The handle is designed for carrying and hanging; hang it so the tray edge matches bird back height, and check the barrel stays level.
