Description

The PETE #450 holds 45 gallons in an 86 inch body for up to 400 head, the larger of the two 86 inch fountains in the line.

Petersen pours these in 5,000 PSI black painted concrete reinforced with 3/8 inch welded rebar cages. The black finish picks up solar heat and the body carries up to 2 inches of extruded polystyrene insulation, which is what keeps the winter bill down. The concrete is air entrained and built for expansion and contraction, so freeze and thaw is not working the unit apart. The weight means no bolting down.

Heat is 1,000 watt, or you can run it Free-Flo with a thermostatically controlled trickle valve instead of an element. A no heat version is available on request.

86 in L x 28 in W x 26 in H, 2000 pounds, 45 gallons.

Capacity for a Barn, Not a Paddock

The PETE #450 runs 86 inches long and holds 45 gallons for 400 cattle. At this size the valve is cycling most of the day, so the float and seat do the real work, and the 1,000 watt element keeps up with the volume.
