Underwater Float Valve
This new valve attaches to the side or bottom of cattle tanks with a float attached only by a nylon cord.
  “The Megaflow valve requires very little pressure to open or close,” explains Bill Irwin, a long time distributor of Jobe valves.
  “Other valves require more pressure, which requires the leverage of an arm attached to the float. The longer the arm, the more likely it is to be damaged by cattle.”
  Damage to the valve is also reduced by its below water level installation. The quick detach connection makes it easy to clean out debris and keep the valve working correctly.
  “The Megaflow valve works on any pressurized system from 5 to 150 psi,” says Irwin. “It’s ideal for smaller tanks in portable grazing systems. It provides greater water flow than standard valves, which allows for the use of a 50 or 75-gal. tank, which is easier to move from paddock to paddock. Every paddock doesn’t have to have its own tank.”
  The Megaflow valve retails for $46.95.
