Requirements for water troughs and for the associated water pipes and fittings.

This Part of BS 3445 specifies requirements for the bodies of agricultural water troughs for holding drinking water for livestock and for the associated water pipes and fittings, the water level being maintained by a float operated valve controlling a supply of water through a pipe.

Troughs of any suitable shape and of capacity between 60 L and 3 000 L inclusive are covered by this Part of BS 3445.

Section 2 deals with trough bodies and section 3 deals with the water fittings and service box.
