Cobett - Model LB -Float Valve Waterer System
The Model LB Float Valve System is engineered to endure harsh winter conditions while providing reliable water access for two to three heads. It features a unique heating mechanism where the entire water tub is continuously and directly warmed by a substantial column of ground heat, effectively preventing freezing in both the valve and plumbing even during zero traffic periods. Maintenance is straightforward; the tub can be easily lifted out for cleaning. The Model LB Waterer has a drinking height of up to 20 inches and a capacity to serve either up to 200 dry lot beef heads or 100 range cows. The waterer, tub, and float are constructed from 1/4 inch polyethylene plastic, while the base tube is made from 3/16 inch polyethylene plastic, with optional insulated tubes available for added thermal protection. The system offers different valve options to accommodate various pressure feeds and capacities, ensuring versatile applicability across different farming needs.
The Model LB with Float Valve System features unmatched winter endurance for two to three head access. The entire tub of water is constantly and directly warmed by the wide column of ground heat that prevents freezing of the valve and plumbing, even with zero traffic. Cleaning is easy — lift out the tub, swirl the water and empty it out.
