Hiko Bar Feeder Replacement Valve for Drinkers
Description
Hiko Bar Feeder Valve - Replacement Valve for Automatic Drinkers
The Hiko Bar Feeder Valve is a replacement valve for Hiko bar feeder drinkers, sold as a spare part for stable, yard and livestock watering systems. It is best for yard owners, smallholders and farm managers who need to service an existing drinker rather than replace the whole unit.
Two fittings are covered: the Thick/Thin valve suits product code 151140, and the Thin/Thin valve suits product code 152480. Check your drinker's product code before ordering, as the two versions are not interchangeable.

FAQ
Which version do I need, Thick/Thin or Thin/Thin?
The Thick/Thin valve is suitable for product code 151140 and the Thin/Thin valve is suitable for product code 152480. Check the code on your existing drinker or its documentation before ordering.
Does this include the drinker bowl?
No. This is a replacement valve only. Drinker bowls, pipework and fittings are not included.
Will it fit other makes of drinker?
It is designed as a spare for Hiko bar feeder drinkers matching the product codes listed. Fitment on other makes is not confirmed.
Can I fit it myself?
Many yard owners fit replacement valves themselves. Isolate and drain the water supply first, and if you are unsure about your plumbing, ask a qualified plumber or your equipment installer.
Where is it made?
The Hiko Bar Feeder Valve is manufactured in Germany.
Is it worth keeping a spare?
Yes. If you run several identical drinkers across a yard, a spare valve in the workshop means a leaking or sticking drinker can be put right the same day.
