By mounting through the drain hole, the electrical cord is kept out of the water, and the de-icer cannot be thrown from the tank. The de-icer comes with a built-in thermostat and six ft power cord. #15DP fits Rubbermaid tanks, 1500 watts, 120 volts.

DESCRIPTION: DRAIN PLUG DE-ICERImportant: To ensure safety for both you and your livestock it is essential that you read and follow the instructions on this instruction sheet.

Ground Fault Interrupter: must be installed in the circuit. This is a very sensitive device that cuts off the electrical current if there is any leakage of electricity in your water tank. This device may be obtained from any electrician or hardware store.

Installation instructions:
1)\tUnscrew plastic nut on the outside of Rubbermaid tank. Save the nut and rubber washer.
2)\tRemove drain plug assembly. Save the rubber washer.
3)\tInsert one rubber washer over the cord and onto the de-icer. This washer should rest against the red plastic "plate" at the end of the threaded section.
4)\tInsert de-icer from the inside of the tank. Be sure the up arrow is pointed up (located on plastic plate of de-icer).
5)\tPull cord through hole in tank.
6)\tInsert the second rubber washer an plastic nut over the cord.
7)\tBe sure the second washer is "sandwiched" between the plastic nut and the surface.
Tighten nut.

8)\tIMPORTANT: Double check the following:
A)\tThe up arrow is pointed up.
B)\tYou have used both rubber washers in the installation.
C)\tConfirm that the de-icer is stable and can not twist in the drain hole.
D)\tConfirm that the heating element cannot touch the plastic in any way.

MAINTENANCE: Do not allow lime or other impurities (e.g. iron, mud, fish waste, etc.) in the water to build up in excess of 1/32" on the diameter of the tubular heating element. This is an allowance of 1/64" on each side. An excess build up can cause the heating element to burst, sending electrical current directly into the water. The frequency of cleaning depends directly upon the composition of your water supply (e.g. lime and iron content).Remove these deposits with a lime removing liquid obtained at any farm or hardware store. Begin by soaking the heating element in a shallow pan containing the liquid and then remove the deposits being careful not to damage the heating element.

CAUTION: (1) have A qualified electrician install a properly grounded receptacle outlet, acceptable for outdoor use and protected from snow and rain, immediately adjacent to the location where the heater will be used. (2) Route the supply cord and locate the heater so as to be protected from damage by livestock. (3) Do not use extension cords. (4) Inspect cord before using. (5) Unplug heater at receptacle outlet when not in use or before removing from tank. (6) Store heater indoors after winter season and (7) to ensure continued protection against shock hazard, connect to property grounded outlets only.WARRANTY: This de-icer is warranted 12 months from the date of purchase.
