The Control Valve for Cleveland Valve Company -100 Series
This 1/2″ red plastic pilot valve is the control component inside Cleveland Valve Company -100 series float valve assemblies — including the S2-100. It delivers consistent flow control at 40–60 PSI — the standard operating range for most animal drinker systems. Furthermore, it ships fast from Hudson, Ohio, so your livestock watering system is back up quickly.
Also a Direct Replacement for the Ritchie Red 12575
This valve is also a direct replacement for the Ritchie Red 12575 animal drinker valve. If your Ritchie waterer is leaking, running continuously, or not shutting off cleanly, this valve is the fix. It is functionally identical to the Ritchie Red 12575 and fits all of the following Ritchie waterer models:
- WaterMatic 100 & 150
- Omni 1 & 2
- Omni-2 Special
- EcoFount 1 & 2
- Genesis 1 & 2
- EzFount
- AutoFount 1 & 2
- UltraFount 1 & 2
- Pork King Series
- Thrifty King for Swine
Just Need the Seal?
If your valve body is in good shape but the rubber seal is worn, you may not need a full replacement. We also carry the replacement rubber seal 5-pack — compatible with both this valve and the Ritchie Red 12575. It is a cost-effective way to restore a tight shutoff without replacing the entire assembly.
What’s Included
Each valve ships with a mounting bolt and stainless steel wingnut, so you have everything needed for a straightforward swap. No additional hardware required.
Complete Your Setup
For proper operation you’ll need a float arm and float ball. We recommend pairing this valve with our 5-3/4″ float arm and 4×4 plastic float for a complete animal drinker valve assembly.
