The drain stopper is 1 1\/2 in..\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 17 by 14 in. and 65 lb. empty it takes up very little of a stall, and the 26 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 HC7-26, so one trench carries both and the stub-ups have to land inside a 17 by 14 in. footprint. Set a reinforced pad roughly 25 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.\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 65 lb. empty two people can set this one, which is part of why it ships by UPS. Hoskins puts the rating at a single stall or a small pen.\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":68329457484000,"sku":"HC7-26","price":704.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/1078\/4736\/files\/hc7-26_74dd27cd-f4fb-4d83-96a1-b2de2741ace9.png?v=1793305373","url":"https:\/\/www.automaticwatererparts.com\/products\/hoskins-hc7-26-heated-horse-waterer","provider":"Automatic Waterer Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
