Jobe Topaz 1-1/4" Short Tail Float Valve – Largest-Inlet Compact Trough Valve

The Jobe Topaz 1-1/4" Short Tail is a high-flow water trough float valve for large livestock troughs, stock tanks and water tanks. It has the largest inlet in the Topaz range and flows more water than the 3/4" Topaz at the same pressure.

The short tail gives a compact, low-profile connection. Like every Topaz, it uses a pilot-operated diaphragm that opens for high flow and closes gradually to help reduce water hammer. Set the water level by hand with no tools, and lock it off whenever you need to.

Built for big herds and high-demand watering points, from corrosion-resistant materials, with a built-in port for Jobe's FrostPro anti-freeze device (sold separately) for cold weather.

Features

Short Tail Inlet
Compact 1" thread length for a low-profile connection.

High-Flow Pilot-Operated Design
The float operates a small pilot valve, which operates the main diaphragm valve for fast refills.

Gradual Shut-Off
Closes slowly to help reduce water hammer in your lines.

Flexible Mounting
Installs top, side or bottom entry, horizontally or vertically — above or below the water line.

Tool-Free Adjustment & Lock Switch
Set the water level by hand, and lock the valve in the off position when you need to.

Frequently Asked Questions

Long tail or short tail — which do I need?
The 1-1/4" short tail has a 1" thread for a compact connection. If you're mounting through a trough or tank wall, the 1-1/4" long tail has a 2-3/8" thread and comes with a backnut and seal washer.

Will it work on a gravity-fed system?
The Topaz operates from 5 psi (0.3 bar) up to 100 psi (7 bar), covering many gravity-fed and pressurized systems.

How do I prevent back-siphoning?
Jobe recommends mounting the valve at least two inlet diameters above the trough's overflow. Some mounting positions may not comply with local regulations, so check yours.

Need a different size or tail?
See every option on the Jobe Topaz Float Valve page — 3/4", 1" and 1-1/4" inlets in long and short tail.


Big flow, compact fit — the Jobe Topaz 1-1/4" Short Tail keeps large troughs full without the fuss.

Great quality Ploybraid and good for about 4-5 years year round application with uv exposure.

This is my second purchase of the super 9 polybraid, and it sure won’t be the last. Compared to the other poly wire products I’ve used, this braid is so much more durable, easily visible to the livestock, and VERY conductive. The smooth braid is much smoother to reel in than the other poly wires I’ve used, and for almost a year I’ve been moving cows with this wire at least three days a week. Still going strong with no viable signs of wear. I highly recommend this product. 5 stars for sure

It is working great. Running on a deep cycle battery that drops to 50-60% in 4 days on electric netting. 8-10k volts on poly rope and 4-6k volts on the netting.

This Range Ward — Power Reel saves me so much time and headache. I wish I would have made this purchase years ago. Just attach it to your side by side and go. It's that simple.
