The rod holds the lid in the trough opening. When it rusts thin, bends or works its way loose, the lid stops seating the way it should, which lets heat out and lets dirt and bedding into the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\/16 inch by 13 5\/16 inches, steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFranklin stopped building the AP, F, PC and E series waterers, but the wear parts are still here.
