Speaker 1: Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Valterra Adjustable Water Regulator. Part number A01-1117VP.Campground water pressure can be too high. Don't take a chance on it being unregulated and it harming your system. The Valterra Adjustable Regulator will let you determine for yourself how much pressure is going into your system. Most regulators operate between 40 and 50 Psi, this one will allow you to operate lower than that and all the way up to your RV's maximum pressure. And you can find that in your RV's documentation.Now you want to be sure and not exceed your RV's maximum pressure.
That can damage your entire water system. The gauge is also nice because it's going to allow you to troubleshoot your system to let you know if the problem is in your city water pressure, or if it's in your RV pressure.It has a built-in screen. Regulators that don't have a screen can allow dirt and debris to get inside, which can cause your regulator to malfunction or give you irregular flow. It's a lead-free brass construction. It's easy to install.
We'll go ahead and show you that now.First what I'm going to do, is locate our city water connection on our RV. Then we can go ahead and connect the male end of our regulator to our RV. I'm going to position my regulator up so I can read it easily. And it's a good idea not to over tighten, just get it nice and snug. That way we don't have any leaks.Then we can take our hose end and connect it.
Nice thing about our regulator here, is that the end swivels, which makes connecting easy and we won't have to worry about kinking our hose.Now we can go ahead and turn on our water faucet. Now we don't have to worry about opening it up all the way. Our factory preset on our regulator is 45. Now we can take our flat head screwdriver and adjust our brass screw at the top of the regulator here. Now Valterra recommends not going over 60 Psi.
You will want to be sure and check with your RV's owner's manual to see how much pressure it can handle. Once you get it where you want it, you're all set. You're ready to test the inside faucets.As you can see we've got good flow here on the inside. Now you can adjust your brass screw to the left or right to fine-tune your water pressure.And that's gonna complete our look at the Valterra Adjustable Water Regulator. Part number A01-1117VP.

Love it! I have great water pressure and everyone around me is jealous! 598156

Nice compact unit . It fits well inside the service bay with room to connect the water service hose. Being adjustable was one of my requirements for a regulator. It is also downstream from the filter, so it should not get plugged with crud. Works very well . I would recommend this unit. 603308
Wayne K - 02/09/2020We were using a less expensive regulator. The water flow was very restricted. I installed the new regulator and set it at 55 pounds and we now have plenty of pressure. Very pleased so far. 595434
Have not used the water gauge or the surge protector yet, and will update when we do. This 5-star review is for the service provided by Bill, and the prompt delivery. 649914
Excellent Regulator. Brass construction is good for durability. Pressure regulation linear within 5 psi. Necessary for potable water regulation, the regulator keeps seals and faucets from exceeding pressure limits. Needed it quickly, and etrailer got it to me within 48 hrs. Very pleased with customer service! 566803
I believe the pressure regulator still works,but I have to report 2 negative issues. 1) The needle slipped behind the zero pressure stud, so I can no longer tell what the pressure is set to. 2) There is water inside the pressure gauge. Somehow water has leaked into the gauge. I am disappointed. 666483
Love it, great quality. I had about 45PSI showing on the gauge every time I checked until one day it showed 80 PSI and I panicked. I thought oh no it failed, but after thinking what else could it be I figured it out. I had turned on the propane hot water in the fifth wheel and had NOT turned on any water taps for an hour and the heat raised the water pressure, as soon as I cracked open a tap all was normal 468631
etrailer is an excellant company. They help me get the right pdoduct. Ship right away and are there after the sale for any support i have needed. They have earned my trust and i will continue to do business with them. I am glad i found ghem for my boat trailer and RV supplies. 417120
Very helpful service from Madison, quick delivery, high quality all brass construction, impressed by the look and feel. Will be using as central water input control for RV/camping related water supply to modulate the water pressure and not overload and damage my equipment like tankless water heater, pipe connections, etc. Anyone hooking up to an unknown water supply needs one of these or at the very least a non-adjustable fixed preset pressure valve at 45-60 psi. Too much water pressure can damage your piping or joints or appliances and some time later you will have a leak, when you least expect or want one. 485248
The Valtera not only has adjustable pressure, but allows full water flow at a reduced pressure which none of the others I tried managed. High pressure is a primary reason for RV water line fitting failure. I'm able to keep the pressure under 40 lbs, yet obtain full flow with this device I'm quite satisfied with it's performance. 404991
After spending way too much money on one after another Camco water pressure regulators that progressively lower the pressure and volume over a short 4 week period, we purchased this one from Valterra. So far, after 6 weeks of usage, it has been great. Good pressure and good water volume that stays consistent unlike the Camco units. The preset 45 psi is ideal so I have not had to adjust it. 282152
Karl R - 08/10/2017The regulator worked great for a couple of trips, then started leaking. I found two hairline cracks one at each end of the valve body. I was not going to buy another and maybe have the same problem, so I completely took it apart and sealed it up with JB Weld. After doing the repair it has worked fine. I only tighten the hose and valve by hand and store it in an old sock for protection. If it was not for the valve cracking it would get a rating of 5 stars. 424112
For the 8 years we have owned our 1986 Holiday Rambler Imperial Limited 38 foot long Class A coach, we have used the old style small brass cylindrical in-line water pressure regulator. We have suffered from low flow capability for all of that time. If I was in the shower and the wife turned on ANY water in the kitchen or elsewhere, the shower water flow was impacted severely by either scalding or freezing me. With the installation of the new Valtera A01-1117VP high-flow water pressure regulator, those problems have gone away. The new high-flow regulator can supply enough flow that I can't detect any decrease in shower water flow when any other water is turned on inside the coach now. I knew I had a water flow restriction some where in the water supply plumbing, but until I got the new A01-1117VP regulator, I didn't realize how serious the water flow problem was with the old style brass cylindrical regulator. I have dual filters on the water inlet to my coach, the regular large blue cylindrical charcoal filter in-line with the shore water hose, and then another smaller charcoal filter inside the coach, and I thought that the 2 filters in series may be causing a water restriction and low water flow. That was not the problem for my coach. The new high-flow adjustable water regulator solved my water flow problems, and now I have plenty of water anywhere inside my coach. The washing machine now fills much faster and that has cut down on the cycle time on doing a load of wash significantly. We used to wait for minutes for the washer to fill before it would start washing, but that is not the case now. It fills quickly and starts the wash cycle much faster than it did with the old small cylindrical brass water regulator. The auto-fill of the fresh water tank only takes minutes now. The old style brass cylindrical regulator does not have the flow capability of the new Valtera A01-1117VP. The nice water pressure gauge on the high-flow regulator lets you know exactly what water pressure is being applied to the plumbing in your coach, and the pressure adjustment feature of the high-flow regulator is nice to keep from over pressurizing and rupturing the coach plumbing. I am much happier with this new high-flow regulator, and I would certainly recommend it to anyone who has a camper, trailer or RV that uses shore water from a hose supply. 668461
Gauge seems accurate and I like it for the most part however it has developed moisture inside the glass over the last month and less easy to read from inside the RV. Not sure if this moisture will cause it to fail. So only 3 stars and if they replace it for me, I'll go to 5. 628516
I bought this adjustable water pressure valve a year ago and have been using it every time we attach our RV water line to campground hose bibs. It has worked very well at reducing high water pressure before going into the RV. I have attached mine right before our water filter. Thus we have eliminated the possibility of blowing water lines inside the RV due to excessive water pressure. Every RVer should have a pressure regulator attached to protect their water lines. 463596
Nice quality product have not installed on my camper yet but I'm sure there will work just fine 751531
