This innovative product is not merely an accessory; it's an integrated solution designed to maximize uptime, efficiency, and the service life of your Jobe Valve system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Power of the Detach System\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of this product is the patented Jobe Valves Detach System. This proprietary quick-release mechanism allows the user to remove the main body of the float valve from the plumbing inlet with a simple quarter counter-clockwise turn—no tools, no wrenches, and no complex disassembly required. This speed and ease of access revolutionize system maintenance. Routine servicing, such as cleaning the internal inlet filter to prevent blockages or checking the diaphragm, can be completed in seconds. Critically, because the inlet fitting remains securely attached to the tank, you can service or replace the valve head in most cases without needing to drain the water tank or trough. This capability is invaluable in agricultural, industrial, and commercial settings where maintaining a constant water supply is non-negotiable and efficiency is key.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Benefit of the Long Tail Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the Jobe Valves Detach System provides the convenience of a quick-release, the Detach Tail provides the necessary physical stability and thread length for a robust installation. Standard valve fittings often struggle to create a durable, flush connection when mounting through the side of a thin-walled tank, trough, or cistern. The Detach Long Tail is engineered with additional thread length compared to the standard short tail versions. This extra length ensures that the included backing nut and washer can fully engage, providing a substantial, secure attachment point. This robust installation secures the valve and prevents accidental damage or loosening from livestock contact or general wear and tear. The design is straightforward: the long tail extends through the tank wall, and the large, easy-to-handle backing nut and washer are applied from the inside, ensuring the valve is firmly fixed and ready for the main valve body to be clicked into place via the Detach System.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Tail Difference: Long vs. Short\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe key difference is the installation hardware and thread length. The Long Tail features extra thread and includes a backing nut and seal washer, making it specifically designed for mounting through the wall of a tank or trough. The Short Tail has a compact thread profile and is used for screwing directly into an existing internal threaded port or adapter already installed in the tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Families with the Detach System\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe versatility and convenience of the Jobe Valves Detach System have made it a standard feature across Jobe's most popular high-flow product lines. The Detach Tail is specifically designed for integration with these key float valve families:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJobe Megaflow Valves: Known for their high flow rate (up to 53 GPM \/ 200 L\/min) and robust, underwater-only mounting design, the Megaflow uses the Detach system to ensure that its high-performance capabilities are always accessible for fast servicing. The Long Tail version allows the Megaflow to be securely side-mounted through the tank wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJobe Topaz Valves: The Topaz range is highly adaptable, suitable for both above-water and below-water mounting. It is often utilized in demanding industrial and agricultural applications. The inclusion of the Jobe Valves Detach System enhances its flexibility, allowing it to be installed securely on tanks of various wall thicknesses while retaining the critical quick-service feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Detach Tail assembly is available in common sizes, including 3\/4\", 1\", and larger, making it a reliable choice for converting or upgrading your existing Jobe Megaflow or Topaz valve for superior mounting and maintenance access.
