FLOAT VALVE 1/2 INCH FOR SMALL DRINKER RAPIDPLAS PTF12RW

Install the float valve into the inlet of your water trough or poly tank, ensuring the 1/2 inch connection matches your supply line. Adjust the float arm so the ball sits at the desired water level—typically 50-75mm from the top of the trough to prevent overflow. Connect your water supply and turn on slowly to check for leaks around the valve body. Once set, the float will automatically open and close to maintain your chosen water level. Tips: Check that your water supply pressure is between 100-350kPa—most rural systems sit comfortably in this range, and this valve handles it well. If you're running the trough off a dam, consider installing a strainer or settling tank upstream to reduce debris fouling the valve mechanism. A quick visual check every few weeks will catch any float sticking or sediment buildup before it becomes a problem.
