Full troughs, fresh water, no stress

Farmers across the country know that reliable access to fresh water is essential for livestock health and farm productivity. Yet, trough issues - like emptiness, overflow, or unexpected noise - are a common frustration.

Recognising these challenges, Apex Valves has developed the Kingpin Trough Arm Range, designed specifically for New Zealand’s tough rural conditions. The arms are built to work seamlessly with Apex valves, aiming to reduce mismatches and failures that can occur when mixing parts from different manufacturers.

Features include:

• A self-centring arm: helps keep water levels steady, reducing the need for constant adjustments.
• An adjustable design: farmers can bend the arm to set the water level they want, without complicated fittings.
• Retrofit compatibility: the range fits onto existing Apex valves and floats, making upgrades straightforward.
• Flexible installation: the range works with both top and side entry setups, offering versatility for different trough systems.
• Stainless steel construction: built to resist corrosion and last outdoors.
• Valve compatibility: designed for use with Apex 69/72, AP/AB, and Xcess/Ultraflo valves.

By choosing valve arms that are purpose-built for local conditions and compatible with trusted valves, farmers know their trough systems will keep doing the job day in, day out, without the headaches of mismatched parts or premature failures. It’s one of those small choices that can make a big difference to daily operations.
