Heavy-Duty Metal Trough Float Valve

• Heavy-duty metal housing: cast aluminum construction protects the internal valve components.
• Automatic water-level control: mechanically replenishes the trough as animals consume water.
• High flow capability: referenced configuration provides water flow up to approximately 245 gallons per hour.
• Wide operating pressure range: suitable for water supply pressures from approximately 20 to 50 PSI.
• Non-electric operation: requires no power supply, controller or electronic sensor.
• Compact installation: suitable for plastic or metal troughs, tanks, barrels and watering pans.
• Farm-ready construction: suitable for continuous use in commercial livestock facilities.

• Complete livestock watering layouts designed according to farm conditions

• Mount the valve securely on the edge or wall of the livestock trough or tank.
• Connect the water supply and confirm that the supply pressure is within the recommended operating range.
• Position the float so it can move freely without contacting trough walls or other equipment.
• Adjust the installation position to achieve the required drinking-water level.
• Flush the pipeline before initial operation to remove sediment and installation debris.
• Periodically inspect the float, orifice, sealing components and inlet connection.
• Clean mineral deposits or debris when reduced water flow or incomplete shut-off is observed.

Q: Does this float valve require electricity?
A: No. It uses a mechanical float mechanism and operates directly from the pressurized water supply.

Q: What water pressure can the valve operate with?
A: The referenced metal valve is designed to operate at approximately 20-50 PSI.

Q: What is the maximum water flow?
A: The referenced configuration provides flow up to approximately 245 US gallons per hour under suitable supply conditions.

Q: Can it be used on both plastic and metal troughs?
A: Yes. This type of float valve is suitable for many plastic and metal stock tanks, troughs, barrels and watering pans when correctly mounted.

Q: Can the mounting system be customized for a pig farm project?
A: Yes. Mounting brackets, connection layouts and related water-supply components can be supplied according to project requirements.
