Feeder Loop Layout
Adequate overhead structure must be provided to support the weight of the Feeder, Birds, Power Units, etc.
1.Suspensions Drop Lines should always line up with Trusses. If attaching drop lines to Trusses is impossible,
adequate load baring structure must be provided.
2.Stagger Drop Lines as shown. When Staggered, Drops are spaced 4’ [1.2 m] or 5’ [1.5 m] apart to coincide
with 8’ [2.4 m] or 10’ [3 m] Truss Spacing.
3.Each 90° Elbow needs its own Suspension Drop.
4.Extra Drop Lines need to be added to support Power Units.
Trough Lengths
Troughs are available in 8’ [2.4m] and 10’ [3m] lengths. This allows for Troughs to line up with Trusses.
1.Plan so that Trusses line up with suspension points near Trough Joints.
(See Figure 2.)
