Benefits

Options for both high- and low-pressure water systems
With brass and Hansen float valves available, there’s a solution to suit everything from gravity-fed tanks to high-pressure reticulated water supplies.
Fast trough recovery for larger mobs
High-flow options such as the Hansen Max-Flo help refill troughs quickly after heavy use, ensuring stock have reliable access to water when demand is highest.
Durable designs built for Australian conditions
From heavy-duty brass construction for freeze-prone sites to robust Hansen valves for intensive operations, the range is designed for long service life and dependable performance.

Applications

The Brass Float Valve suits sites with freezing winters or variable water pressure, while the Hansen Max-Flo is better suited to higher-volume troughs such as the 16FT Rambo or Tubby 2100L Octagonal Trough, where faster recovery after a mob drinks through matters more.

Freeze-prone or variable-pressure water supplies
High-volume troughs needing fast recovery
Intensive feedlot and containment-yard setups
