Ritchie Thrifty King Pipe Insulation

The Ritchie Hose Insulation (#14859) is a molded polyurethane insulation sleeve designed specifically for use in Ritchie Thrifty King automatic waterers. This insulation fits around the 5/8" supply hose (part 18600), protecting the water line from the valve down to the shut-off point at the top of the riser.

Engineered for energy-free waterer systems, this insulation plays a key role in preventing freeze-ups by reducing exposure to cold air. When properly installed, the insulation should be slid up toward the valve and secured in place, covering part of the valve assembly for maximum protection. 

Constructed from durable polyurethane foam, it provides long-lasting thermal protection while maintaining flexibility for easy installation.

This is a direct replacement part used across multiple Thrifty King models, helping maintain proper performance and ensuring your waterer continues to operate efficiently in cold weather conditions.
