Description
Description
Low trough, pig height
Every H9 stands 9 in. tall, which is the whole idea. The trough sits where a pig drinks without having to reach, and the unit tucks under a rail rather than taking up pen space. The H9-14D is 28 in. long and 14 in. wide with two compartments, 5 gallons, rated up to 100 head.
Reading the model number
H9 is the height, 9 in. The number after it is the width, so this one is 14 in. across. The letter is the compartments, D for two and S for one. Once you know that, the whole H9 line reads at a glance.
What is inside the frame
What makes a H9-14D keep running in February is where the heat comes from. The Model A element is carried in the frame, so 250 watts warms the air in the cavity and the air warms the 5 gallons of water. No single hot patch anywhere on the tank wall.
The 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 H9-14D that compartment holds a 3/8 in. RM 153 valve and float assembly, with no separate rod to match. The drain takes a 1 1/2 in. rubber stopper.
The trough itself is 9 in. tall and 14 in. across with two drinking compartments, low enough that weaned pigs reach it without help. The frame is galvanized, 60 lb. empty.
Before you order
- Water and power both arrive inside the base, so the trench carries two things and should be dug once. The H9-14D footprint is 28 by 14 in., which is what your stub-ups have to land inside.
- Pour a reinforced pad about 36 by 22 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.
- The Model A element draws 2.1 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.
- Empty weight is 60 lb. Two people can set it, which is part of why this size gets picked for pens that move.
- Hoskins rates the H9-14D at up to 100 hogs. Measure the pen opening before ordering, because the H9 line is sized by width and the 14 in. body is what has to fit.
- Take your water pressure reading at the waterer itself rather than at the well, and at more than one hour of the day.

View allWhy producers stay with Hoskins
Nine inches tall, stainless, and low enough that a weaned pig can drink without help. The H9 troughs come in widths to suit the pen rather than the other way round, the element sits in the frame with air around it instead of against the tank, and the galvanized or stainless frame takes washing. Hoskins has built them in Hoskins, Nebraska since 1966, and they are easy to keep going because there is very little to go wrong.
Frequently Asked Questions
Reading the model numbers
What do the numbers in an H9 model mean?
What do the numbers in an H9 model mean?
H9 is the height: every model in the series is 9 in. tall. The number after it is the width, 14, 22 or 34 in. The letter is the compartments, S for one and D for two. So an H9-22D is 22 in. wide with two compartments.
What is a CH model?
What is a CH model?
A combination cattle and hog waterer. One stainless tank feeds a cattle drinker on one side and a hog drinker on the other, which is why the CH models appear on both our cattle and our pig pages. They carry two valves and both stopper sizes.
What does the SS suffix mean?
What does the SS suffix mean?
Hoskins lists several H9 models with an SS suffix at 5 to 10 lb. lighter than the standard version, but does not publish what the suffix changes. We have put the question to the factory and will post the answer here rather than guess at it. Both versions share the same dimensions and the same parts.
Sizing
How many hogs will one waterer handle?
How many hogs will one waterer handle?
The 14 in. and 22 in. singles and the 14 in. double are rated up to 100 head. The H9-22D and both 34 in. singles carry up to 150, and the H9-34D carries 100 to 250. The CH combination units are rated at 100 hogs per drinker alongside their cattle figure.
How much water does a hog drink?
How much water does a hog drink?
Roughly 4 gallons a day for a mature hog and 1 to 2 for a feeder pig, with lactating sows well above that. The H9 tanks hold 5 to 13 gallons and refill continuously, so capacity matters less than making sure every pig in the pen can reach the trough.
Installation
Can one unit serve two pens?
Can one unit serve two pens?
Yes. Set a D model into a pen divider and both sides drink off one water line and one element: one trench, one circuit, one valve compartment to service. The CH series does the same thing across two species rather than two pens.
