Jobe Megaflow Valve
It is a high-performance, float-operated diaphragm valve designed specifically for the automatic filling of large livestock water troughs and storage tanks. It is engineered for underwater mounting only, which protects the unit from freezing in cold weather and prevents physical damage from livestock.
Popular Product Models:
- Detach Short Tail: commonly used when mounting inside the tank (bottom-entry), like tire tanks.
- Detach Long Tail: commonly used when mounting through the side walls of a tank. Long tail refers to the thread length on the base. Comes with a nut and seal washer.
Key Performance Specifications:
According to manufacturer data from Jobe Valves, these valves are built for high-demand environments where rapid refilling is critical.
- Flow Rate: Capable of high flow rates up to 90 GPM (gallons per minute), though some variants are rated for 55 GPM.
- Operating Pressure: Functions across a wide range from 5 to 150 PSI (0.3 to 10 BAR).
- Water Level Differential: Features a ¾" to 2½" (20-60mm) differential, which increases as water pressure rises to ensure a positive on/off operation.
- Temperature Rating: Maximum operating temperature is 140°F (60°C).
Core Feature & Design:
Reviewers and technical documentation highlight several design benefits that distinguish the Megaflow from standard float valves:- Corrosion Resistance: Constructed from non-corrosive materials like ABS plastic and nylon, making it suitable for harsh agricultural environments. Cleaning is recommended for areas with hard water.
- 1/4-Turn Detach Base: A patented feature that allows for quick removal of the valve from its base for easy cleaning of the internal inlet filter without tools.
- Pilot-Pin Actuation: Uses a diaphragm principle actuated by a pilot pin to provide a "near hammerless" operation, reducing pipe vibration.
-
Lock-Off Mechanism: Includes a cord lock that allows you to manually lock the valve in the "off" position when needed.
