Seventy-eight gallons, two Model C elements, and 230 lb. of frame and tank before a drop of water goes in. Rated 250 to 350 head, which puts it in a feedlot pen or a large grazing group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"border-left:4px solid #b9902a;background:#fdf8e9;padding:16px 18px;margin:18px 0;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-weight:700;color:#8a6a1f;\"\u003eAnchoring a long unit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;font-size:0.95em;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eA unit this long has leverage working against it from cattle crowding one side. Set it on a reinforced pad and fix it down. Hoskins frames are built to be bolted, and at this size it is worth doing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is inside the frame\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpen the service door on a C95-26 and you are looking at a stainless tank, an insulated galvanized frame and an element held clear of both. That clearance is the whole design, and it is why owners who have fought ice with a drop-in heater notice the difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe valve sits in an insulated compartment of its own beneath a removable cover, reached through a service door big enough for a hand and a forearm. On the C95-26 that compartment holds a 3\/4 in. Bob valve on an 8 in. float rod. The drain takes a 2 in. rubber stopper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 26 in. frame holds the water further off the ground, which keeps dirt out and gives a cleaner drink, and 95 in. of open trough lets a good many head at the water at once. 230 lb. empty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBefore you order\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater and power both arrive inside the base, so the trench carries two things and should be dug once. The C95-26 footprint is 95 by 26 in., which is what your stub-ups have to land inside.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePour a reinforced pad about 103 by 34 in. and set it a few inches above the surrounding ground. Manure that cannot pack against the frame is manure that cannot rot it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Model 2C element draws 11.7 amps at 120 volts, so a dedicated 15 amp circuit is enough.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmpty weight is 230 lb. Plan on a loader rather than a carry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated for 250 to 350 cattle. Rim space matters as much as gallons, because cattle drink in groups: 95 in. of open trough is what decides how many get at it at once.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake your water pressure reading at the waterer itself rather than at the well, and at more than one hour of the day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeed help working out which unit you already have?
