The extra length over the H9-22S is what buys the second compartment and the three extra gallons, at 20 lb. more weight.\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 compartments, two groups\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;font-size:0.95em;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eA double set into a pen divider waters both sides off one line and one element. That is one trench, one circuit and one valve compartment to service instead of two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is inside the frame\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe H9-22D is built the way every Hoskins is built, at this particular size. Stainless tank, 8 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\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 H9-22D 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trough itself is 9 in. tall and 22 in. across with two drinking compartments, low enough that weaned pigs reach it without help. The frame is galvanized, 80 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 H9-22D footprint is 28 by 22 in., which is what your stub-ups have to land inside.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePour a reinforced pad about 36 by 30 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 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmpty weight is 80 lb. Plan on two strong backs or a bucket on the loader to place it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoskins rates the H9-22D at up to 150 hogs. Measure the pen opening before ordering, because the H9 line is sized by width and the 22 in. body is what has to fit.\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?
