Connecting a Stand-Alone Unit to a 3/4" Main Supply Line
The 111628E FodderPro 2.0 Full Feed System – Expanded includes all the components to assemble the main fodder frame, 12' channels, drain manifold, and supply manifold.
Additional components needed for the system are not included and require an additional purchase. These components—required, recommended, and optional—are noted in the
diagram below. Contact your sales representative for additional information and to purchase the additional components.
Consult the services of an electrician and/or professional contractor during assembly and when attaching the main water supply line to the fodder system. The diagram below
shows the basic items needed to supply and control the water to the fodder system.
ATTENTION:
Stand-Alone System: Connect the main water supply to the top or bottom of the supply manifold. Diagram below shows a bottom connection. To connect multiple
systems,
plumb the main water supply to the tops of the supply manifolds only
. See the diagrams on the next page showing two fodder systems connected to a 2" main.
