Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the best type of water trough for these valves?
- Our float valves will perform well in every type of stock tank- tire tanks, steel, poly tanks, and concrete troughs included.
2. What is your inlet diameter? We have four sizes available.
- 3/4" (regular and stainless valve)
- 1" (regular and stainless valve)
- 1 1/4" (regular, stainless, and high volume valve)
- 1 1/2" (regular and high volume valve)
3. What type of arm do you need on your valve?
- Straight arm- the most common and can be used with tanks plumbed from the bottom and the top
- Bent arm- for tire tanks with risers, when the inlet pipe rises higher than normal, or if you want more space (we recommend at least 6" from the valve to the top of the water)
- 90º arm- can be mounted on a pipe coming from the side
- 24" valve arm- extremely high pressure
4. Are you interested in top-level water level adjustment?
- Check out our pan or pigtail floats for easier water adjustment and higher pressures as well!
5. Should you order any extra parts?
- Poppet washers do need to be switched out occasionally. We recommend ordering a couple to have on hand.
