Hoskins large thermostat
The thermostat is the part that decides when the heater runs. It senses the temperature at the waterer through a capillary bulb on the end of a copper tube, and switches the heating element on and off so the tank stays open without the element burning power around the clock. When a waterer starts freezing up with a good element in it, or the element never shuts off, the thermostat is the first thing to look at.
Large for B through 3C, small for A and AA
Hoskins uses two thermostats across the heater range. The large one on this page goes on the B, 2B, C, 2C and 3C heaters. The A and AA heaters take the small thermostat, which is a separate part. Match the thermostat to the heater rating, not to the waterer model.

Fitting it
The bulb has to sit where it reads the real temperature at the tank, not in open air, and the capillary tube should not be kinked or cut. Hoskins asks for a GFCI breaker where local code requires one and advises a licensed electrician for any work inside the waterer.
Not sure which one you need?
Read the rating off the heater already in your waterer. If it is an A or an AA you want the small thermostat instead. If you cannot read it, send us the waterer model through the contact form and we will work it out.
