When to use water pressure regulator on fiver?

Buckeye Chuck:

Keep in mind that unless you have some kind of super hose, the regulator should be installed at the spigot. It's my understanding that the average RV hose can burst under high pressure.

everything sounds good in theroey real life is another matter i guess i dont want to take a chance especially as easy as it is to hook one up if nothing ever broke there would be no need for repairmen of maintance people and i would be out of a job.

Every boat that I have ever owned that had a dockside (city) water hook up had a pressure regulator built in where the hose connects to the boat. The RV industry is way behind on this one. I think that a built in pressure regulator and built in voltage protection should be standard in EVERY RV. The manufactures can just adjust the base price to include the extra cost. I would rather pay extra for that than a built in vacuum cleaner. They can buy them cheaper then we can and it would be a great selling point.

Fixed for you! ^^

I don't really appreciate that.

I considered the fact that you may not. But I proceeded anyway. Nobody died.

I carry one, but never use it... As I am never connected to the city supply provided by the park. I fill my tank (either at home or at the park spiggot) and use it exclusively.

Pex or no Pex, you have fittings and in-line water filters that can't handle the higher PSI water pressure.

Here is a question.. they say that the regulators max the pressure at 40-45 psi.... what is the safe max pressure ? according to the video I just watched by Valterra.. the old trailers are rated at 45-45psi... and the newer trailers are rated for 100psi but they recommend no more than 60 psi....?? mine is adjustable and being of the older school of thought... I set it at 40...with low water pressure

Got mine at Lowes

On that pressure issue. One time late at night I noticed the water pressure in the stick home had the gauge at just a smidge over a hundred. Thought oh well that gauge is toast and will change it tomorrow. Tomorrow is was back to normal.
