Ritchie CT1-2000 Valve Chamber Cover 16861

The Ritchie Valve Chamber Cover (Part #16861) is a direct replacement designed for Thrifty King CT1-2000 automatic waterers built after 2000. This insulated cover fits into the recessed opening of the red top (16860), protecting the valve and float assembly from harsh weather and helping maintain consistent operation.

Built with full insulation, this cover helps shield internal parts from freezing temperatures, debris, and the elements. If your existing cover is cracked, worn, or no longer sealing properly, replacing it can improve performance and extend the life of your waterer.

This cover is specifically designed for CT1 units manufactured after 2000 and is not compatible with earlier models.

Pro Tip: To make removal easier in winter conditions, spray the underside of the cover with cooking spray before installation. If frozen in place, a rubber mallet can help safely release it.
