A poultry waterer of the vacuum discharge type adapted for use in sizes larger than the type which is tipped for placement for use. The waterer is characterized by being permanently upright, having an easily used filler cap and a detachable tray or trough fed by a spout at the bottom of the tank. A cup and O-ring permit the closing of the hole in the spout, preventing premature discharge of liquid while the waterer is being filled. Also, the filler cap includes a unique cup and gasket arrangement which allows easy opening of the cap.
