Ritchie Valves Ritchie valves come in two sizes and three pressure ratings – green for high supply line pressure, red for moderate supply pressure, and white for low-pressure applications. Differences in the size of trough also impacts valve choice. Although different pressure rated valves may be used in a fountain, each fountain will only accommodate one size and configuration of valve. - Page 8 6.
