The Miraco Heater Retainer Assembly #295 is a small part that plays a big role in keeping your EquiFount 1100 or 1200 heated stall waterer running the way it should. This metal retainer securely holds the heating element in its correct position, helping your system fight freezing temperatures and deliver dependable water to your horses all winter long.
Made from durable, long-life metal, the #295 retainer is built to stand up to daily use inside busy barns and stalls. Over time, heater brackets can loosen, bend, or corrode—especially in high-moisture environments. When that happens, the heater may shift out of place, causing uneven thawing or increased ice buildup. Replacing the worn retainer with this factory-fit Miraco part restores proper alignment so your heater works efficiently and safely.
This replacement part fits both EquiFount 1100 and 1200 heated waterers, making it a reliable fix whether you’re maintaining a single stall setup or preparing multiple units before cold weather arrives. Installation is simple: remove the old bracket, clean the mounting area, position the new retainer, tighten it into place, and verify the heating element sits flush and secure. Once installed, the system maintains consistent heat distribution and reduces the chance of freeze-ups.
If you’ve noticed slow thawing, inconsistent heating, or a heater that looks slightly out of line, this retainer assembly is often the quick solution. It’s one of the most cost-effective preventive maintenance parts you can keep on hand to ensure your EquiFount waterers stay dependable through every season.
