Connecting a Water Trough

 

One of the problems with troughs is that the water is usually connected to the valve, through an elbow joint. Inevitably, they leak.

So we have now connected the new ones using a standard garden tap, two Hozelock tap connectors and a length of professional-quality hose.


The connection seems to work well.

The great advantage though is that the trough can be easily removed and taken to the workshop for repair and cleaning. This should help, as the valves always go on the worst and coldest day in the winter.
