Same stainless tank, same dimensions, same valve and stopper as the standard build, but the frame around it is stainless steel instead of insulated galvanized. Fewer pounds, more money, and a frame that shrugs off a wash-down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow Hoskins builds them\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe H9-34S SS puts 500 watts behind 6 gallons, and the element is held off the tank so the heat arrives as warm air rather than as a hot spot on the wall of the tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RM 153 float-and-valve assembly, 3\/8 in., sits in an insulated compartment of their own behind a lift-off cover, so a repair in January does not mean emptying the tank. The drain stopper is 1 1\/2 in..\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one measures 34 in. across the body and stands 9 in. deep, carrying one compartment. This is the stainless-framed version, 70 lb. empty, and it stands up to washing better than galvanized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePutting one in\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe water line and the power both come up inside the base of a H9-34S SS, so one trench carries both and the stub-ups have to land inside a 17 by 34 in. footprint. Set a reinforced pad roughly 25 by 42 in. and stand it a few inches above the ground around it, which keeps muck from packing against the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectrically the Model AA element pulls 4.2 amps on 120 volts, so its own 15 amp circuit is enough. Ask whoever wires it to confirm the earth at the same visit. Stray voltage is the usual reason stock go off a waterer that is working perfectly well, and it is almost never the first thing anyone checks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead your water pressure at the unit rather than at the well, and read it more than once in a day. At 70 lb. empty two people can set this one, which is part of why it ships by UPS. Hoskins puts the rating at up to 150 hogs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse the rest of the line under \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hoskins-pig-waterers\"\u003eHoskins pig waterers\u003c\/a\u003e, or see \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hoskins-waterer-parts\"\u003eHoskins waterer parts\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hoskins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68329458696416,"sku":"H9-34S SS","price":1153.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/1078\/4736\/files\/h9-34sss_b3ebacc5-b588-47b7-85ba-0e13d9ebbc28.png?v=1793305403","url":"https:\/\/www.automaticwatererparts.com\/products\/hoskins-h9-34s-ss-heated-pig-waterer","provider":"Automatic Waterer Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
