Cattle and Sheep Trough Float Valve

• Designed specifically for cattle and sheep drinking trough applications.
• 20 mm / 3/4-inch inlet configuration for common agricultural water systems.
• Automatic mechanical water-level control reduces manual trough filling.
• Compact vertical structure minimizes space occupied inside the trough.
• Diaphragm-based internal valve assembly supports controlled opening and closing.
• Integrated strainer helps reduce contamination of internal valve components.
• No electricity, sensor or electronic controller is required.
• Serviceable internal construction supports routine inspection and component replacement.
• Suitable for new livestock facilities, farm upgrades and replacement projects.

• Float Assembly: Responds to changes in trough water level and controls valve operation.
• Valve Body: Houses the water-control mechanism and connects to the livestock water supply.
• Start Valve Assembly: Initiates water flow as the trough level falls.
• Diaphragm: EPDM sealing component used within the main water-control mechanism.
• Diaphragm Plate and Pin: Support controlled movement of the diaphragm assembly.
• Strainer: Helps protect internal passages from larger particles in the water supply.
• Spring and Sealing Components: Support consistent mechanical valve operation.
• Mounting and Fastening Components: Secure the valve assembly within the trough installation.

• Cattle drinking troughs
• Beef cattle yards and feedlots
• Dairy cattle holding and drinking areas
• Sheep drinking troughs
• Sheep yards and grazing operations
• Mixed livestock farms
• Outdoor livestock watering stations
• Livestock handling and holding facilities
• Farm water-system renovation projects
• Steel structure livestock buildings and agricultural construction projects

• Water Connection: Customizable according to project pipeline requirements.
• Mounting Arrangement: According to trough structure and installation conditions.
• Water Supply Configuration: Selected according to farm pressure and livestock drinking demand.
• Valve Component Configuration: Available upon request.
• Packaging and Labeling: Customizable for distributors, dealers and agricultural project procurement.
• Project Adaptation: Designed according to local climate and farm conditions.

• Select an installation position that allows unrestricted movement of the float mechanism.
• Connect the 20 mm / 3/4-inch water inlet securely to the farm water-supply line.
• Flush new pipelines before commissioning to prevent construction debris from entering the valve.
• Set the valve position according to the required operating water level in the livestock trough.
• Check all fittings for leakage after the water supply is opened.
• Inspect the strainer periodically, especially where farm water contains sediment or suspended particles.
• Inspect the diaphragm and sealing components if shut-off performance deteriorates.
• Remove mineral deposits and accumulated debris during routine trough cleaning.
• Protect exposed pipelines and valve components from freezing where required by local climate conditions.

Q: What livestock is this trough valve designed for?
A: It is primarily designed for automatic water-level control in cattle and sheep drinking troughs.

Q: What is the standard inlet size?
A: The standard valve configuration uses a 20 mm / 3/4-inch inlet.

Q: Does the valve require electricity?
A: No. Water-level regulation is performed by a mechanical float and internal valve mechanism.

Q: Does the valve include a diaphragm?
A: Yes. The internal assembly incorporates an EPDM diaphragm as part of the water-control mechanism.

Q: How should the valve be maintained?
A: Routine maintenance should include checking the strainer, internal sealing components, water connection and free movement of the float assembly.

Q: Can it be used in large livestock projects?
A: Yes. It can be incorporated into cattle and sheep watering systems when the valve capacity, pipeline size and available supply pressure match the project requirements.

Q: Can project-specific configurations be supplied?
A: Yes. Connection, mounting, packaging and related specifications can be customized according to project requirements.
