Bob valve, a 3\/8 in. RM 153, an 8 in. float rod and both stopper sizes. That is a short list, and having it in the shop turns a winter valve change into an hour rather than a week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is inside the frame\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLift the cover on a CH36D and the order of things is plain: a stainless tank holding 33 gallons, an insulated 16 gauge galvanized shell wrapped around it, and an air gap between the two where the heating element lives.\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, two drinkers, 185 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 CH36D footprint is 36 by 28 in., which is what your stub-ups have to land inside.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePour a reinforced pad about 44 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 185 lb. Plan on a loader rather than a carry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated for 75 to 125 cattle, or 100 hogs per 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?
