Bk Llc 109-845 Float Rod Assembly Brass Cattle Watering

Product Description

The BK LLC 109-845 is a 3/8 inch float rod brass nozzle assembly designed for exposed cattle watering systems. The assembly allows the float ball to move freely so cattle can nuzzle the ball without activating the valve or causing harm to the animal or the valve mechanism. It includes a thumb screw, hooks, a swivel joint, and a stem threaded at one end with a 3/8-16 thread pattern. This part is installed by agricultural maintenance technicians and livestock facility operators as part of a float-controlled water supply valve setup.

This float rod assembly is suited for use on exposed, outdoor cattle watering installations where animals interact directly with the float ball. The nozzle design isolates ball movement from valve actuation, reducing unintended valve activation and extending valve service life. The brass construction provides corrosion resistance in wet agricultural environments. Each unit is sold individually and packaged in quantities of 10 per case, making it practical for maintenance inventory at feedlots, ranches, and livestock facilities.

Key Features

• Brass nozzle construction for corrosion resistance in outdoor and wet environments
• Allows float ball to move freely without triggering valve activation
• 3/8-16 thread on stem and thumb screw for secure assembly and adjustment
• Includes thumb screw, hooks, swivel joint, and threaded stem as a complete assembly
• Designed specifically for exposed cattle watering systems where animal contact with the ball is expected

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement float rod assembly for exposed cattle watering valve systems using a 3/8-16 threaded stem configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by agricultural maintenance personnel or licensed plumbers servicing livestock watering systems. Shut off the water supply to the valve before disassembling or replacing any float rod components. Use appropriately sized hand tools to secure the thumb screw and hook connections without over-tightening brass fittings. Verify thread engagement on the 3/8-16 stem before returning the system to service.
