Winter Water Valve
 |
“It consists of a 3/4-in. steel elbow welded to a heavy 4 by 12-in. steel plate, 1/2-in. thick. A 1/16-in. bleed hole is drilled into the side of the elbow. A garden hose from the hydrant connects to one side and a shutoff float valve to the other. The float valve is set so water just covers the valve. The small bleed hole continues to fill the tank. If cattle drink the tank down too far, the float valve opens to full flow so there’s always ample water. I only have to check periodically to make sure the bleed hold is not plugged.”
