[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1690707, member: 12607"] If I were putting one in today, rather than plumbing up in the center of the tire, I'd run my riser up through the sidewall, like in this video: [URL]https://kerrcenter.com/video/tire-tanks-installation/[/URL] Would probably leave more of a tab of sidewall, reaching almost to the bead, immediately above wherever I plumbed the riser up through the sidewall to provide a bit more protection from cows mucking around with the float mechanism. An overflow pipe, plumbed away from the waterer, is a helpful addition. Have had way too many issues with floats sticking open or the cows breaking them, resulting in a huge mudhole around the waterer, with erosion and subsidence rapidly becoming an issue. I can show you one here that had repeated overflow problems that ended up looking like it was on a 3 ft 'pedestal' before I moved it... got to the point that calves couldn't drink out of it, it was so high.
