Ritchie Misc. Parts

(64 products)

Nuts, bolts, thermal tubes, standpipes, adapters, seal foam and the rest of the small Ritchie parts that keep an automatic waterer sealed, anchored and flowing. PeteCo Supply is a Ritchie dealer and these are genuine Ritchie parts, listed by their own part numbers.

Ritchie hardware is sized per unit, and several packages look alike while differing only in length, thread or pack count. The lists below group the parts by what they do, so you can work from the job rather than from a measurement.

Full part number tables are below the products on this page.

Ritchie’s own installation figures, worth having before you dig

Ritchie calls for a 3/4 inch supply line as the minimum and recommends 1 inch. The horizontal run should be buried at least 4 feet deep or 1 foot below the local frost line, whichever is deeper. The pad is 4 to 6 inches of concrete with an 18 inch perimeter step. And a thermal tube should extend at least 1 foot below the frost line — that figure is what decides whether you need the 1 foot top, the 4 foot top, or the 1 foot top with extensions stacked on it.

Why the part number beats the measurement

Measuring an old bolt or washer is less reliable than it looks on this line. Ritchie uses several top bolts, several frame bolts and several washers that differ by a fraction, and a fastener that is close is not a fastener that fits. The number printed on the old package, or the breakdown for your unit, is the quickest route. Each part page here lists the unit breakdowns we have recorded as calling for that part.

Frequently Asked Questions

I have a Ritchie CD-50, where do I find parts?

CD-50 refers to a paint process used on older metal Ritchie units—not a model number. It’s commonly found on discontinued units like the 2AC, 1AC, and Cattle Fountain 3 and 5. To find the correct parts, visit our discontinued section of the Ritchie parts breakdown page and shop by model.

How long will it take for my Ritchie parts to ship?

Ritchie parts are typically in stock and ready to ship. Most orders ship the same or next business day. If a part is ever out of stock, we’ll notify you right away with an expected timeline so there are no surprises.

Where are Ritchie waterers manufactured?

Ritchie waterers and parts are proudly manufactured in Conrad, Iowa, supporting American agriculture with reliable, long-lasting products.

How do I know which Ritchie waterer model I have?

You can identify your Ritchie waterer by checking for model tags, casting numbers, or by comparing the shape and layout of your unit to parts diagrams. The easiest way is to shop by model using a Ritchie parts breakdown page, where you can match your unit visually—especially helpful for older or discontinued models.

What are the most common parts that need replacing on a Ritchie waterer?

The most commonly replaced parts include valves, floats, and heating elements. Regular maintenance of these parts helps ensure proper water flow, prevents leaks, and keeps your waterer performing efficiently year-round.

Winter prep reminders, parts alerts, nothing else

A few emails a year, sent when it matters. Heat kits before the freeze, valve rebuilds before spring turnout.
