SOUTHERN CROSS STOCK WATERING FLOATVALVES

AN EFFICIENT FLOATVALVE IS A VERY NECESSARY PART OF A STOCK WATERING PLANT, IT MUST HOLD THE WATER IN THE TANK WHEN THE STOCK ARE NOT DRINKING, AND IT MUST LET A BIG SUPPLY OF WATER INTO THE TROUGH IMMEDIATELY THE STOCK START TO DRINK. MADE ENTIRELY OF BRASS, EXCEPT FOR THE VALVE RUBBER, THE SOUTHERN CROSS FLOAT VALVE IS DESIGNED SO THAT A SLIGHT LOWERING OF OF WATER IN THE TROUGH IS SUFFICIENT TO ALLOW THE VALVE TO OPEN FULLY AND DISCHARGE ALL THE WATER THE PIPE WILL CARRY. SOUTHERN CROSS FLOAT VALVES ARE SELF CLEANING AND SELF FLUSHING. CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO ALLOW FOR THE RIGHT SIZE VALVE, THE GUIDE LINE BEING EVERY SMALL STOCK UNIT REQUIRES 5 LITRES OF WATER PER DAY AND EVERY LARGE UNIT 45 LITRES, ON AVERAGE. ATTENTION MUST BE TAKEN THAT THAT WATERING TROUGH, FLOATVALVE AND SUPPLY PIPE SIZE ARE ADEQUATE TO PREVENT THE DRINKING TROUGH RUNNING DRY. THE VALVE SIZE SHOULD BE THE SAME AS THE SUPPLY PIPE.
