Q: How do I attach this to the Rubbermaid trough
a month ago1 Answer
- AI-generated, Human-approvedA: This float valve is designed to screw or bolt directly into Rubbermaid troughs for a secure fit. It includes a coupling to thread into the tank valve and connects to any standard garden hose. Reviewers note it is specifically made to fit the side of Rubbermaid tanks easily.a month agoHelpful?
Q: What should the water pressure be to avoid damage to the thread connections
2 months ago1 Answer
- A: Howdy neighbor! To avoid leaking or cracking the plastic threads, your water pressure should ideally be kept between 40 and 60 PSI, which is the optimal operating range where the valve achieves its standard flow rate of roughly 3.5 gallons per minute. While the Rubbermaid Stock Tank Float Valve (MPN: 4248-06) has an absolute maximum pressure rating of 90 PSI, pushing the system to that upper limit significantly increases the risk of blowing out the hose washer or stripping the structural foam plastic threads.a month agoHelpful?

Q: What is the maximum water pressure it can operate on? I have very high water pressure. Do I need a pressure regulator ?
3 months ago1 Answer
- AI-generated, Human-approvedA: The specific maximum water pressure is not stated, but reviewers have noted that high household water pressure can cause the hose to disconnect or the coupler to blow out. Using a pressure regulator may help, as some users found the valve more reliable with lower pressure or gravity-fed systems.3 months agoHelpful?

Mediocre at best
5 days ago
Worked OK, but leaks from the hose connection. Not the threaded part, but the plastic female connector that turns to connect the water hose. There is no way to thread tape the back side of it.
No, I do not recommend this product.
