The Little Giant® 5-gallon galvanized waterer (#9835) is built for
reliability, safety, and long-lasting performance. Crafted from heavy-gauge
galvanized steel, it resists rust, dents, and wear while providing clean,

and birds, and arched inner handles provide extra strength and
durability for handling.
The copper spring and neoprene seal produce a positive water
shut-off, reducing waste. Seams are constructed and tested to prevent
