The hanger assembly includes a horizontal, annular, resilient gasket circumscribing the stem, and a valve housing having a water inlet, a water outlet, and a hollow conduit member therebetween and disposed to overly the annular gasket. The fountain further includes a spring mounting the valve housing to the stem such that the weight of the water in the water trough compresses the spring to draw the hollow conduit member towards the annular gasket and thereby to automatically maintain a predetermined level of water in the water trough.</p> |
