Product Overview	The High-Pressure Livestock Water Level Valve is an automatic float-operated inlet valve designed to maintain a stable water level in livestock drinking troughs and bowls. It opens automatically when animals consume water and closes again when the preset water level is restored. The high-pressure reference configuration uses a G 1/2 water connection and is suitable for farm water supplies where dependable automatic refilling is required. The reference valve delivers approximately 6.5 L/min at 3 bar. The compact mechanical design is suitable for cattle, horse and general livestock watering equipment. It can be incorporated into new livestock equipment installations, commercial farm renovations, pig farm construction support systems and steel structure building projects.
Key Features	Automatic float-controlled water-level regulation. High-pressure configuration for livestock drinking equipment. Automatically refills the trough as animals consume water. Maintains a consistent drinking water level without manual filling. Compact mechanical structure with no electrical control required. Suitable for livestock troughs, drinking bowls and water containers. Simple installation and convenient replacement during maintenance. Suitable for indoor barns, outdoor livestock areas and commercial farm projects.
Structural Components	A typical livestock water-level valve includes: Water inlet valve body Threaded water connection Internal valve mechanism Mechanical lever arm Floating element Pivot and adjustment components Sealing components Mounting and connection hardware Component configuration may vary according to drinking trough design and project requirements.
Working Principle	The float rests on the water surface and is connected to the valve mechanism through a mechanical lever. As livestock drink, the water level falls and the float moves downward. This movement opens the inlet valve, allowing fresh water to flow into the trough. As the trough refills, the float rises again. When the selected water level is reached, the lever closes the valve and stops the incoming water. This simple mechanical operating principle provides continuous automatic water-level regulation without electronic sensors or external power.

Customization Options	High-pressure or low-pressure configuration: Available upon request Water inlet connection: According to project requirements Float configuration: Customizable Installation adapters: Available upon request Valve mounting position: According to trough structure Complete drinking trough configuration: Customizable Water supply arrangement: Designed according to local climate and farm conditions
Installation & Maintenance	Install the valve securely at the designated inlet position of the livestock drinking trough. The float should have sufficient clearance to move freely with changes in the water level. Connect the water supply line to the valve using fittings compatible with the G 1/2 connection on the reference configuration. Ensure that the connection is correctly sealed and that the valve mechanism is not subjected to excessive mechanical stress. After installation, allow the trough to fill and verify that the valve closes when the required water level is reached. Check the trough again after animals begin drinking to confirm reliable automatic reopening and refilling. Routine maintenance should include checking float movement, removing dirt around the valve opening, inspecting seals and connections, and cleaning sediment from the trough. Water lines should be protected against freezing where required by local climate conditions.
Project Cases	High-pressure float valves can be used as replacement components or incorporated into complete automatic livestock drinking systems. They are suitable for individual troughs as well as multiple watering points supplied from a centralized farm water network. In livestock farm construction projects, valve selection should consider available water pressure, required refill rate, trough capacity, herd size and the number of drinking points. Water troughs, connecting pipes, mounting accessories and water-level control components can be configured together according to project drawings and commercial farm requirements.
Product FAQ	Q: What does the float valve do? A: It automatically opens the water inlet when the trough level falls and closes the inlet when the preset water level is restored. Q: What is the connection size of the reference high-pressure valve? A: The Kerbl reference high-pressure configuration uses a G 1/2 connection. Q: What is the water flow rate? A: The reference high-pressure valve is specified at 6.5 L/min at 3 bar. Q: Does the valve require electricity? A: No. Water-level control is provided by a mechanical float and lever mechanism. Q: Can a low-pressure version also be supplied? A: Yes. High-pressure and low-pressure configurations can be selected according to the farm water supply. Q: Can the valve be used as a replacement part? A: Yes. It can be used for suitable existing drinking troughs when the connection size and installation structure are compatible.
