Bk 109-813 Stock Tank Float Valve 1/2 Inch Thread Outlet

Product Description

The BK 109-813 is a bronze stock tank float valve designed to regulate water levels in agricultural and livestock watering tanks. The valve uses a float rod connection to open and close the inlet, stopping flow automatically when the tank reaches the set level. It features a male inlet and male outlet configuration with dual inlet threading that accepts both pipe connections and a locknut. High-tensile serrated arms provide a secure grip, and the machined flange supports the valve body against the tank wall. Replaceable seals extend service life, and a locknut is included for a complete installation. This valve is sold as a single unit and weighs 0.642 pounds.

This float valve is used in outdoor stock tanks, livestock waterers, and similar agricultural water storage applications. The 1/2 inch thread outlet suits standard supply line connections found in farm and ranch plumbing installations. Compatible float rod lengths range from 14 inches to 20 inches, making it adaptable to a range of tank depths and water level requirements. Plumbers and agricultural equipment installers are the primary trade professionals who handle this type of fitting.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or experienced agricultural equipment technician. Shut off the water supply and drain or isolate the tank before removing an existing valve or installing a new one. Use thread sealant or PTFE tape on all threaded connections and confirm the locknut is fully tightened against the tank wall flange before restoring flow. Do not overtighten bronze fittings; hand-snug plus a quarter turn with a wrench is standard practice for bronze threaded valves.
