Ritchie WaterMaster 1200 #18053

• The WaterMaster 1200 is ideal for large dairy operations, feedlots, and high-traffic pasture systems, especially in crossovers, alleyways, and fence-line installations. Its long, narrow design allows one unit to efficiently serve large groups of cattle while maintaining smooth herd flow and consistent access to fresh water.

• Twelve-foot length (144″) x 24″ width x ~28–29″ overall height — designed for large herds.
• Capacity: approx. 60 gallons, supports up to 500 beef or 250 dairy head.
• Heavy one-piece polyethylene construction: impact resistant, holds up under cattle hooves.
• Sloped trough drains to large drain port for fast clean‐out and refill.
• Water seal around valve chamber to keep cold air out and protect internal mechanisms.
• constant flow feature, immersion heater or supply line heat cable for freeze‐weather protection.
• Drinking height at 24″ — appropriate for adult cattle in feedlot/dairy settings.
