This is the valve that fills the tank: the float rod bolts to the lever arm, the float rides on the water, and the valve shuts as the level comes up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"border-left:4px solid #b9902a;background:#fdf8e9;padding:16px 18px;margin:18px 0;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-weight:700;color:#8a6a1f;\"\u003eValve only\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;font-size:0.95em;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eThe float rod and float are separate items. These models run a 8 in. rod — we stock it alongside this valve. Size is set by your model and is not a matter of preference: too small and the tank will not keep up, too large and it will not shut off cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 1\/2 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: solid brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarking: BOB cast into the body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied as the valve only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich Hoskins units take it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoskins C28-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoskins C28-26\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoskins C36-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoskins C36-26\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoskins C48-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoskins C48-26\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoskins SC48-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoskins CH28S (cattle side)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoskins CH28D (cattle side)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoskins CH36S (cattle side)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoskins CH36D (cattle side)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 1\/2 in. is the middle size and the one most cattle owners need.

If the tank overflows or dribbles constantly, the valve is the first thing to look at, then the float and the rod. All three sit together in the same insulated compartment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSee the rest of the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hoskins-waterer-parts\"\u003eHoskins waterer parts\u003c\/a\u003e, or the full \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/hoskins-automatic-waterers-and-parts\"\u003eHoskins range\u003c\/a\u003e.
