Philmac VersaPHIL High Flow Float Valves with 6" Float (Max 425LPM)

The Philmac VersaPHIL Float Valve is a heavy-duty, high-performance livestock float valve designed to deliver reliable shut-off, high flow rates and long service life in demanding agricultural environments. Built for cattle, sheep and livestock watering troughs, the VersaPHIL is engineered to perform consistently even under high inlet pressures and tough conditions, including installations at the bottom of hills.

Featuring a robust DZR (dezincification-resistant) brass lever assembly, a dedicated wide cam, and high-pressure shut-off capability up to 1400 kPa, the VersaPHIL provides dependable water control while resisting corrosion and stock damage. With multiple inlet styles, lever lengths and float sizes available, one valve platform can suit a wide range of trough designs and capacities — reducing the need to carry multiple valve types.

FEATURES

• High-pressure shut-off up to 1400 kPa (standard lever) without leaking
• High flow performance across a wide pressure range for rapid trough refill
• Dedicated wide cam design for increased strength and resistance to stock damage
• DZR corrosion-resistant brass lever assembly and pivot pin
• Stainless steel R-Pin allows tool-free lever removal and adjustment
• Engineered outlet cap with flow directors to minimise splashing and water loss
• Locking nut on float prevents float loosening over time
• Multiple inlet options reduce stock holding requirements
• Designed specifically for livestock watering applications
