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.\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;\"\u003eLarge for B through 3C, small for A and AA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;font-size:0.95em;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eHoskins 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge body thermostat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapillary tube with a remote sensing bulb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustment shaft on top for setting the switch point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLine voltage control, wired in series with the heating element\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as the thermostat alone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGoes with these Hoskins heaters\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB500, 500 watt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2B1000, 1000 watt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC700, 700 watt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2C1400, 1400 watt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3C2100, 2100 watt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitting it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNot sure which one you need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRead the rating off the heater already in your waterer.
