The small one on this page goes on the A and AA model heaters. The B, 2B, C, 2C and 3C heaters take the large thermostat, which is a separate part at a different price. Match the thermostat to the heater, not to the waterer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall body thermostat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass housing with an integral mounting bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLine voltage switching, wired in series with the heater\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\u003eA250, 250 watt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAA500, 500 watt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen the thermostat is the problem\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo symptoms point at the control rather than the heat.
