Description
Description
Hoskins 1/2 in. plunger
The plunger is the piece inside the Bob valve that meters how much water gets through. It is a wear part: once it has been seating and unseating for enough seasons it stops closing cleanly, and a valve that will not quite shut is usually a plunger before it is anything else.
Match it to the valve, not the tank
Plunger size follows your valve size, and valve size follows the model. The 1/2 in. plunger matches the 1/2 in. Bob valve, which is on the 28, 36 and 48 in. cattle tanks, the SC48 sheep trough and the cattle side of every CH unit.

A cheap thing to try first
If the tank runs on, or dribbles and never settles, work through it in order: plunger, then the valve, then the float. The plunger is the least expensive of the three and the most likely culprit, so it is worth having one on the shelf.
