Watts and Zurin both make fine regulators.. nearly identical. They also make ****. as does a number of other companies.
HOW TO TELL THE DIFFERNCE
You know those 3/4" diamater cylinder jobs they sell in RV stores. Male hose fittinn on one end, Female on the other? JUNK
Oh they will limit the pressure but they also restrict the flow.
SUR-FLO (A Watts corp if I'm not mistaken) makes a decent one. In fact if your RV has one built in.. Guess who's Now the construction suggests it can be repuilt when it ages.
Watts and Zurin both make nearly identical devices designed to be used In line win a house or apartment. Thest units have a bell shaped upper housing. the bell's "Mounting bolt" is the pressure adjustment bolt.
They are made of Brass and are fully rebuildable. The Bell is about 3" in diamater at the base.
Test results
Junk models (Also a wore out Watts) Static 50 psi. flowing 10 psi
Brand new Zurin.. Static 50 psi.. FULL FLOW 50 psi
Park pressure varied from 60 PSI to 120 druing those tests.
