[QUOTE="eric, post: 96140, member: 7"] On my Little Giant valves, I put a gate valve on the pipe going up to the valve, and I just barely crack it open, just enough to let water trickle out. If for some reason it does stick (hasnt yet), then at least it wont flood the place before I can get to it. I have about 6 waterers in different areas set up this way, and they are usually always full, as they mostly fill up at night. Before that, I was constantly bursting hose fittings / and hoses until I permanently ran PVC pipe to each trough. I bought some kind of pressure reducer at Home Depot a couple yrs ago, but it didnt reduce the pressure enough to keep from exploding the hoses, thus the underground pvc pipe route was taken. I also put quick realease connectors between the valve and the pipe. Makes for easier removal when I need to clean out the water troughs. [/QUOTE]
