Rv City Water Inlet Leaks

A strange thing occurred during our recent trip to lake wister state park in oklahoma.

Rv city water inlet leaks.

To hook up to the rv city water inlet you must first remove the outside cap and get a hose that is designed for drinking water. Place the disc against the hose washer in the city water fitting and then screw the regulator in place to plug the leak. A united states nickel or game counter small poker chip are examples. If turning the water down makes the leaking stop and still allows for adequate water pressure inside the rv this was likely your problem and turning the pressure down is a great temporary solution.

The rv city water inlet on the outside of the rv makes it possible to hook up to an outside source such as a campground or residential faucet using a hose and have pressurized water running on the inside. If there is not clearance to do so screw your water hose into the city water hookup and plug the other end of your hose with the wye. They are not buried inside walls and are usually accessible for easy repair. In many cases a break or leak in an rv water supply line is often a literal snap to repair.

Pex stands for cross linked polyethylene. I show you how easy it is to do. If the water wye has shutoffs on the outlets you can just screw one of the male ends into your city water hookup and the problem is solved. That s because the water lines in most rvs are plastic pex pipe.

I did a dumb thing while winterizing the rv and needed to replace the city water inlet. Dicor butyl tape http astore ama.
