NOMAL Brass Float Valve 1/2 inch Float Ball Valve Automatic Fill Adjustable Float Ball Valve for Livestock Waterer, Water Tank, Aquariums

Everything seemed to match what it looked like in the photo(s) that the seller uploaded on Amazon.com and, my package delivery arrived at my doorstep reasonably on-time. The bubble packaging wasn't damaged. Worked out well with SOMETHING ELSE THAT I NEEDED, FOR fixing my old 1997 DODGE motor vehicle. Thank You. :-)

I finally found an adapter which will allow you to connect a female end garden hose (available on Amazon) to this device. It is available athttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B09N6MM7JS?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsThe float pipe screws into the female treaded end of the adapter which is ½” NPS (straight threads). Even though the included nuts would screw on either end of the pipe, I found that only the end with an internal hex shape would screw into this adapter. I needed to remove the pipe from the float and rotate it 180 degrees in order to make it work with the adapter. You also have to supply your own washer as the adapter does not come with one. You also need to use a female to female connector water hose which are available on Amazon.

Needed to upgrade my dog's outside water bowl and this works for me. Be careful handling it, the brass threads have filings that are sharp! Needed a little thread tape to keep it from leaking. Otherwise, it's all good.

I have spent hours trying to get The plastic floats to work and my horses automatic waters. These were easy to install and easy to adjust.

We have one horse so this in the water trough works perfect .

They improved this by making it brass but as you can see on other reviews, you need to pruchase an adapter and then use a whold roll of teflon thread and you might get it to stop leaking at the connection. I good solution would to have a garden hose thread so ANY garden hose would attach and not leak. I think they make garden hoses in China so it is not a great leap.

Used to five plastic float valve for chicken feeder. Better design and will be buying more to build dog bowls

seems to work great so far. much better than the cheap plastic ones.
