Field water troughs, no drain plugs!

[organicguy]

Just bought 5 large galvanised water troughs from a well known national manufacturer and discovered they do not have drains plugs, bunges or taps.
Any suggestions on how to resolve.

Well it Depends on the size of the hole.....

But in 'plumbing supplies ' google 'brass female flanged back nut' and 'brass male flanged plug'

Will need a plastic or rubber type washer in the 'sandwitch' as well

Edit ...brass ones

Screwfix do them up to an inch

Put a stop tap, turn off whilst stock are still in the field let them drink it pretty much dry and scoop out with a empty orbeseal bucket?

We put sink fittings and use normal plugs.

Sorry to sound like an arse, but send them back and replace with concrete ones

I take it you have a private water supply.
