{"product_id":"hoskins-valve-cover-hc17","title":"Hoskins Valve Cover for HC17","description":"\u003ch2\u003eValve cover, HC17\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe valve cover for the HC17, the largest of the Hoskins horse waterers. The HC17 is also the only Hoskins model that runs the short 4 in. float rod, so if you are already in the valve chamber it is worth checking that rod and the float while the cover is off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHoskins describe the job of this part on their own parts page: the valve cover protects and insulates the Bob valve and the float. It is the insulating half of that sentence that matters most in February. A cracked or missing cover lets cold air straight onto the valve, and a frozen valve will take a tank out of service faster than a tired heater will.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePainted steel housing on a galvanized base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipping weight 14 lb.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers and insulates the Bob valve and float\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLid sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits HC17\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFits these Hoskins models\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHC17-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHC17-26\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\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;\"\u003eCovers do not cross between builds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;font-size:0.95em;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eSeveral Hoskins units are made in more than one build and the valve covers are not interchangeable between them.
