What does it mean "hardware not included"? What hardware is not included?

I got one last summer. I think all the hardware that I added were two angle brackets to attach the duramate to the shelf and backboard that supports it. All the plumbing, i.e., the automatic fill etc. was included. I have found it works very well. I take it down and store it in a plastic bag in the barn during the winter since we have quite a bit of freezing weather.

What do you need to purchase in addition to hook this up to a garden hose?

I built a small stand to mount them. If you have something already to go. Them just a hose. The float will not take a lot of PSI. I blow out two with pressure, so they ran all the time.

I have purchases over 20 of these, I need replacement female to female connectors to go from bucket to hose. Can I order some?

I personally went to my local building supply/hardware store and bought replacements made from brass. I have 2 of these waterers and didn’t like those plastic connectors. A farm/feed store might have them, or I’m sure any big box hardware store store will have them also.

Any suggestions for a heater so it doesn’t freeze in the winter. We love ours but it’s in a non heated barn so it willl freeze this winter.

Check out Freeze Mizer. I installed these on all of my large and small troughs. They Work.
