The CH28S is the 28 in. version with one drinker. Two valves live in the compartment: a 1\/2 in. Bob valve on an 8 in. float rod for the cattle side, and a 3\/8 in. RM 153 for the hog side.\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;\"\u003eTwo drains, two stoppers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;font-size:0.95em;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eBecause the CH runs both sides it carries both stopper sizes, 2 in. and 1 1\/2 in. Keep one of each on the shelf rather than finding out in the cold which one you are short of.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is inside the frame\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CH28S is built the way every Hoskins is built, at this particular size. Stainless tank, 22 gallons. Insulated galvanized frame. Element mounted in the frame with air all around it rather than clamped to the steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth valves live in insulated compartments of their own under lift-off covers: a 1\/2 in. Bob valve on an 8 in. float rod for the cattle side, and a 3\/8 in. RM 153 valve and float assembly for the hog side. The drains take a 2 in. stopper and a 1 1\/2 in. stopper respectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne tank, one drinker, 150 lb. empty, feeding cattle on one side and hogs on the other off a single water line and a single circuit.\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 CH28S footprint is 28 by 28 in., which is what your stub-ups have to land inside.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePour a reinforced pad about 36 by 36 in. and set it a few inches proud of the surrounding ground. Manure that cannot pack against the frame is manure that cannot rot it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Model 2B element draws 8.3 amps at 120 volts, so a dedicated 15 amp circuit is enough. Have the ground checked while the electrician is there: poor grounding makes stray voltage, and stock that feels a tingle at a trough quietly stop drinking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmpty weight is 150 lb. Plan on a loader rather than a carry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated for 75 to 100 cattle, or 100 hogs at the drinker. Both sides draw off one tank, so size the water line for the busier side rather than the average.\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?
