|
| Product Overview |
The High-Flow Livestock Trough Float Valve is designed for automatic water level control in livestock drinking troughs, farm water tanks and related agricultural water systems. Its compact diaphragm-operated structure provides rapid refill capacity while reducing the space required inside the trough.
A submerged installation configuration helps protect the valve from livestock contact and reduces exposure to freezing conditions. The corrosion-resistant construction is suitable for intensive cattle, pig, goat-farming-equipment/" target="_blank" class="keylink">sheep, goat and other commercial livestock farming applications.
|
| Key Features |
- High-flow design for fast automatic refilling of livestock drinking troughs.
- Float-controlled operation without electrical power or electronic controls.
- Pilot-operated diaphragm mechanism provides reliable opening and shut-off.
- Compact submerged configuration helps protect the valve from animal impact.
- Corrosion-resistant materials are suitable for demanding livestock environments.
- Integrated filtration helps reduce debris entering the internal valve mechanism.
- Positive automatic water level control reduces manual trough filling requirements.
- Suitable for new commercial farm construction and existing drinking system upgrades.
|
| Structural Components |
- Valve Body: Compact corrosion-resistant engineering polymer housing.
- Main Diaphragm: Controls high-volume water flow through the valve.
- Pilot Valve Assembly: Activates the main diaphragm according to float position.
- Float: Detects changes in trough water level.
- Float Cord / Actuator: Transfers float movement to the pilot mechanism.
- Inlet Filter: Helps prevent larger contaminants from entering the valve.
- Threaded Inlet: Available in connection sizes and thread standards according to project requirements.
- Seals and Fasteners: Designed for repeated operation in agricultural water systems.
|
| Working Principle |
When animals consume water and the trough level falls, the float moves downward and operates the pilot valve. The resulting pressure change activates the main diaphragm, allowing water to enter the trough at a high flow rate.
As the trough refills, the float rises. Once the preset water level is reached, the pilot valve closes and the diaphragm shuts off the incoming water supply automatically. This hydraulic operating principle requires no electrical connection.

| Installation & Maintenance |
Installation:
- Select a suitable side or bottom mounting position inside the trough.
- Confirm that the valve connection matches the farm water supply line.
- Flush the pipeline before connecting the valve to remove construction debris.
- Secure the valve firmly and position the float according to the required water level.
- Open the water supply gradually and verify automatic filling and shut-off operation.
- Confirm that submerged mounting complies with applicable local plumbing and farm regulations.
Maintenance:
- Inspect and clean the inlet filter periodically.
- Remove mineral deposits and sediment from the valve and trough as required.
- Check the float, actuator cord, diaphragm and seals for wear.
- Verify that the float moves freely without interference from trough walls or other equipment.
- Replace worn sealing components when leakage or reduced shut-off performance is detected.

| Product FAQ |
Q: What is the main advantage of a high-flow trough float valve?
A: It can refill livestock troughs quickly during periods of high water consumption while automatically maintaining the required water level.
Q: Does the valve require electricity?
A: No. The valve operates through float movement and hydraulic pressure using a pilot-operated diaphragm mechanism.
Q: Is it suitable for commercial cattle and pig farms?
A: Yes. It is suitable for livestock drinking troughs, water tanks and centralized farm water supply systems where reliable automatic refilling is required.
Q: Can the inlet connection be customized?
A: Yes. Connection size, thread standard and mounting configuration can be supplied according to project requirements.
Q: Why use a submerged installation?
A: Submerged positioning keeps the valve compact inside the trough and can reduce direct livestock contact and exposure to freezing air temperatures.
Q: How should the correct valve size be selected?
A: Selection should consider livestock numbers, peak drinking demand, available water pressure, supply pipe diameter and required trough refill time. Technical selection assistance is available upon request.
