Ritchie Valves
Ritchie valves come in two sizes and four pressure ratings – blue for very high pressure, green for high supply
line pressure, red for moderate supply pressure, and white for low-pressure applications. Differences in the size of
trough also impacts valve choice. Although different pressure rated valves may be used in a fountain, each
fountain will only accommodate one size and configuration of valve. If water pressure is over 60 psi, and if the
valve does not shut off, a pressure-reducing valve may be needed. Your individual situations may require a
change from the standard valve supplied with your fountain, see your Ritchie Dealer if this is needed.
NOTE
: Four orifice sizes are available for multi-purpose fountains and two sizes are available for cattle fountain
valves. They are color-coded.
