What happens here

Attach the float ball to the tether and thread it through the top of the MegaFlow float valve. Adjust the length of the tether so the float ball sits at the desired water level. The float ball is designed to be small enough so cows cannot chew on it, and its movement will activate the valve to maintain the water level. Secure the float valve into its PVC stand. For the drain pipe, place a bowling ball on top of the vertical drain pipe opening. This acts as a heavy, movable cover that prevents calves from accidentally falling into the pipe and drowning. If the bowling ball is dislodged by an animal, the tank will drain, alerting you to a potential issue.

Goal: Attach the float ball to the MegaFlow valve, secure it in the PVC stand, and add a bowling ball as a safety cover for the drain pipe.

guys are going to have to stick around to the end of the video to figure out what the heck I'm going to do with that bowling ball. Use your imagination. and leave me a comment before we get done. [Music] So, this is the Joby Megaplow valve. There will be a tether with a float attached to this valve. This thing kicks butt. This will be attached via this 1 in nipple. So, this is a slip fitting. It'll slip right on there. And then our job Megaplow will screw right in there. I'll post a link to that critter in the video description. These are the best valves you can get. They will work on most any kind of tank.
