Low Pressure Float Valve 1¼” 32mm | RDG Raindrop

What Farmco Recommends It For:

The RDG Raindrop low pressure float valve is our pick for livestock troughs and tanks fed by gravity or a low-pressure line. It suits header tanks, dams and gravity-fed stock water systems running up to 30ft of head (12psi). If you need dependable, automatic water control in the paddock, this valve does the job.

Why It’s a Farmco Favourite:

Australian farmers have trusted this valve for over 30 years. Its tough glass filled nylon body stands up to harsh sun, hard water and daily wear. It comes complete with stem, bullet and pin, so you can fit it straight out of the box.

Why Choose This Low Pressure Float Valve?

RDG Corporation builds the Raindrop float valve from glass filled nylon, a material that resists corrosion and keeps its strength through scorching summers and frosty winter mornings. The solid body shrugs off knocks from curious cattle and sheep, and it won’t rust like older metal valves.

Built for Gravity-Fed Systems

This 1¼” (32mm) low pressure float valve handles setups with up to 30ft of head (12psi). The large inlet delivers strong flow, so your trough refills quickly when stock drink heavily in hot weather. As the water rises, the float lifts the arm and shuts the valve off, helping you avoid overflow and wasted water.

Easy Install, Simple Maintenance

Screw the valve onto your trough inlet, attach your float, and set the arm to your preferred water level. The adjustment bolt lets you fine-tune the shut-off point, and the simple design makes cleaning and servicing quick in the field.
