Miraco Equifount 295 Heater Retainer Assembly

When the heater element in your Miraco EquiFount 1100 or 1200 heated stall waterer starts shifting or you notice inconsistent thawing in winter, more often than not the root of the problem is not the heater itself, but the bracket holding it in place. That is if the bracket is not holding it's position. The Heater Retainer Assembly #295 is the factory-designed metal bracket that keeps the heating element secure, aligned and properly immersed.

Crafted for durability in the rigors of livestock stalls, this metal retainer resists corrosion, vibration and animal contact. A firm and precise mount helps maintain optimal heater performance—ensuring the heating element stays exactly where it needs to be so the waterer can keep ice from forming, the bowl stays accessible and your animals stay comfortable.

Compatible with both the EquiFount 1100 and 1200 models, this assembly is a smart part to stock if you manage heated stall waterers, especially heading into cold seasons. The #295 part is listed in the official Miraco parts-price lists as the standard retainer assembly for the #1200 model. 

Installation is straightforward: remove the old retainer, clean the surrounding area, align the new bracket so the heater’s face will be flush with the bowl floor, and confirm heater alignment. With the retainer correctly installed, the heater operates more efficiently—less wasted energy, fewer freeze‐ups, and more dependable water access for your herd.

Upgrading this small but critical component is one of the most cost-effective ways to maintain winter readiness in your stall water system. If you’re performing preventive maintenance or repairing a worn system, the #295 Heater Retainer Assembly gets you back to full capability quickly.
