Philmac StockPHIL
Philmac’s unique and compact StockPHIL float valve has been designed specifically for stock troughs. The valve hugs the trough wall and has no long lever arm, virtually eliminating the risk of damage caused by stock.
Two models are available: The Plastic body and plunger are manufactured from engineering grade thermoplastic. This provides a high level of wear, UV and corrosion protection.
The brass body is manufactured from quality dezincification brass. This ensures it is resistant to the loss of zinc which would otherwise cause leakage and premature failure.
The arm is located so it operates over the body thus ensuring a compact size valve and minimising stock damage.
The float has been designed to hug the wall of the trough and minimise stock tampering with them. They also have built-in protective buffer strips to protect should they rub on the wall of the trough.
