Assemble and Install Float Valve System
At 10:23 in
You've never seen livestock watering system like this! Automatic No Electricity!
What happens here
Unbox the float valve kit (e.g., Dare-O-Matic Farm Tank Float Valve). Ensure all components, including the float, cotter pin, rubber washers, and mounting brackets (L-bracket or U-bracket), are accounted for. Insert the cotter pin through the float housing to secure the float mechanism. Attach the selected mounting brackets to the float valve unit. Connect a PVC shut-off valve to the float valve using a male pipe adapter and Teflon tape to ensure a watertight seal. This allows for individual trough maintenance. Mount the assembled float valve system to the edge of a water trough using the provided wing nuts or screws, positioning it in the middle of the tank to minimize damage from livestock. Ensure the hose clamp on the poly pipe connection is easily accessible for future adjustments.
Goal: Assemble the automatic float valve kit, connecting it to the poly pipe and mounting it securely onto a water trough to maintain a constant water level.
