Product Details
Kiwitech hydrants provide quick connect water source for mobile troughs. This 'T' fitting is installed anywhere in the pipeline providing a quick release hydrant and 2x 25mm connections, allowing water to pass through.
The valve fitting inside the fitting is activated by pushing in 25mm MDPE or LDPE water pipe creating a high flow, quick connect and economical solution. They allow you to save cost on water infrastructure by only requiring one trough per flock or herd rather than one trough per paddock! Fitting are push type; no inserts required. Only suitable for 25mm pipe.

Please note: Kiwitech Troughs and Hydrants are not for use with direct mains water supplies. Due to potential risk of backflow there must be an airgap in the system i.e. ball valve in header tank. For further information please consult your local water authority.
