I have two Nelson horse waterers in the barn. When I ran the water lines to the barn from the meter, I built sort of a junction box which I put about 10 inches in the ground and used "Ts" from the main line to the other areas in the barn that needed water lines. Since I'm in Tx, 10 inches is sufficient to keep it from freezing. I put what was then called a boiler valve with drain on the main supply line and each line that came off the main line. By doing this, I can shut off and drain everything using the boiler valve on the main line, or I can shut off and drain each line separately. Just be careful not to loose the tiny drain caps. I tape them to the line so I know where they are. When you turn the water back on, replace the drain cap and open the valve slowly. I've had this set up for about 12 yrs and its worked perfectly. Horses are never without water and never had a line freeze break.
