thank you for the informationI have another question regarding the watering sys. I notice that you have 2 tubing ataches to the PVC pipe. why? thanks
I have more questions every time I look at your pictures. Do you know the brand and model numbers of the gas valve, and burner?Gas Valve: Robertshaw 710-203 (or a Robertshaw 710-205, with an LP Pressure Regulator Robertshaw1751-013) Burner was made by my buddy with a drilled and tapped piece of cold roll with a mig welding tip screwed into it. Don't ask me about the burner, I'm still wondering how he did it. What is the BTU rating of the burner? It is homemade. No BTU's known. Is it just a single flame, similar to a bunson burner? The flame is very similar to a chemistry class bunson burner. However the pilot light (Robertshaw 1980-036) stays lit all the time. Is there a way to adjust the temperature from outside, as the chicks get older?Nope, you have to raise the lid to get to the adjustment on the gas valve. We make a little noise when we lift the lid, the birds run to the expanded metal end, then we close the divider down. That way we have the inside of the box all to ourselves. Is the waterer height adjustable?You bet! It is hung with a light chain from the top of the box. We start it low then raise it by taking up some links in the chain.
