The standard build carries the insulated galvanized frame; the SS build swaps that frame for stainless steel. The tank is stainless either way. Stainless costs more and weighs a little less, and it is the one to take where the frame spends its life wet, or where a hog pen gets washed down hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is inside the frame\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe H9-34D SS is built the way every Hoskins is built, at this particular size. Stainless tank, 13 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 H9-34D SS 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 34 in. across with two drinking compartments, low enough that weaned pigs reach it without help. This version carries a stainless steel frame rather than galvanized, which is why it comes in lighter at 95 lb. and takes repeated washing better.\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 H9-34D SS footprint is 28 by 34 in., which is what your stub-ups have to land inside.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePour a reinforced pad about 36 by 42 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 AA element draws 4.2 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 95 lb. Plan on two strong backs or a bucket on the loader to place it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoskins rates the H9-34D SS at 100 to 250 hogs. Measure the pen opening before ordering, because the H9 line is sized by width and the 34 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?
