The drain stopper is 1 1\/2 in..\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 28 by 14 in. and 75 lb. empty it takes up very little of a stall, and the 16 in. frame fixes the drinking height.\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 HC14-16, so one trench carries both and the stub-ups have to land inside a 28 by 14 in. footprint. Set a reinforced pad roughly 36 by 22 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 A element pulls 2.1 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 75 lb. empty two people can set this one, which is part of why it ships by UPS. Hoskins puts the rating at horses and cattle on a fence line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse the rest of the line under \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hoskins-horse-waterers\"\u003eHoskins horse 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":68329457680608,"sku":"HC14-16","price":748.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/1078\/4736\/files\/hc14-16_87d27d27-37ea-48d9-9fcc-1e31868af2c0.png?v=1793305375","url":"https:\/\/www.automaticwatererparts.com\/products\/hoskins-hc14-16-heated-horse-waterer","provider":"Automatic Waterer Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
