The cattle rating goes from 75 to 100 head up to 75 to 125. Single drinker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\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: bold; color: #8a6a1f;\"\u003eThe extra eleven gallons\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 0.95em; line-height: 1.55;\"\u003eHalf again the capacity for 10 lb. more frame. If the unit is going somewhere with marginal water pressure, the larger tank gives you more buffer between refills, and that is usually worth more than the head rating suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is inside the frame\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpen the service door on a CH36S 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\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, 160 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\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater and power both arrive inside the base, so the trench carries two things and should be dug once. The CH36S 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 160 lb. Plan on a loader rather than a carry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated for 75 to 125 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\n\u003cp\u003eNeed help working out which unit you already have?
