Thermostat Wafer

The Thermostat Wafer is a heavy duty, all-brass replacement part designed for temperature control systems in compatible poultry equipment. This wafer measures 3 inches in diameter and can be used with Cackle Hatchery®’s #1602 incubator and #0534 poultry brooder.

A working thermostat wafer helps your incubator or brooder respond properly to temperature changes. If your existing wafer is worn, damaged, or no longer operating as it should, replacing it can help keep your setup functioning more reliably.

Why Replace a Thermostat Wafer?

A thermostat wafer is an important part of certain temperature control systems. Over time, parts may wear, lose accuracy, or stop responding properly.

Replacing a worn wafer may help support:

More reliable temperature control
Better incubator performance
Better brooder performance
Continued equipment use
Preventive maintenance
Replacement of worn or damaged parts

Because temperature control is important for both incubation and brooding, equipment should be checked regularly.

Incubator and Brooder Temperature Reminder

Temperature matters when working with eggs, chicks, and young poultry. Incubators need steady temperature control for hatch development, and brooders need dependable warmth for young birds after hatch.

A replacement thermostat wafer can be one part of keeping equipment ready, but customers should still monitor temperatures with a reliable thermometer and check equipment operation before use.

Always test incubators and brooders before placing eggs or chicks inside.

Brooder Supply Reminder

Orders for brooder supplies do not ship with your chicks.

Brooder supplies need to be ordered ahead of time so everything is set up before chicks arrive. Baby chicks need heat, feed, water, bedding, and a secure brooder from the start.

Ordering replacement parts early helps prevent last-minute problems and gives customers time to test equipment before chicks are delivered.
