Ritchie Replacement Petcock High Pressure Valve 18839

The Ritchie Petcock High Pressure Valve Replacement (#18839) is commonly used in larger, long Ritchie automatic waterers, including the WaterMaster series, especially those equipped with a constant flow setup.

This valve acts as a flow control or bleed-off (petcock) valve, allowing a small, steady movement of water through the system. That continuous flow helps reduce stagnant water and is especially useful during colder months.

In winter conditions, it plays an important role in helping maintain water movement to reduce the risk of freezing, while also supporting overall water freshness and system performance.
