Today we're going to be taking a look at the Valterra Water Inlet for RV's. This unit features a metal recessed flange with a powdered coated paint finish. It's colonial white in color. It's made from a completely lead free design. Here on the back, it's going to use a half inch female pipe for it inside connection. It does feature a brass check valve. Here at the center on the front, you're going to notice that it has the garden hose swivel fitting and that does have a gripper on it, so it does make connecting and disconnecting quick and easy.
It's going to come with the press in desk plug, and a built in screen that's going to keep dirt and grime out of that area. It's also going to feature internal seals to offer leak proof performance. It's a really nice tight, secure fit with a push in dust plug. Here on the table, you're going to see what it comes with. It's going to come with some installation putty tape. It's going to come with pipe thread tape.
It's going to come with you're mounting screws. It only requires 3 screws to get it installed. The screw heads are painted to match the color of the housing, and it's also going to come with a male nipple to convert the connection point at the back. This unit does conform with federal and state laws from drinking water fixtures, drinking water safety. When we take a look at the overall diameter, it's going to be 4 and 5 8ths of an inch and then our mount holes are separated on center by 3 and 9 16ths of an inch. That going to be the same separation between each mount hole center on center. That's going to do it for today's look at the Valterra Water Inlet for RV's..

Everything worked out great with very quick shipping, and I'm ready for this weeks next RV ADVENTURE.
Hose said 12" but I wasn't sure if that was 12" total with connectors or just 12" hose , which would be 14" total w/ connectors .
Easy install and quality product. Came will all the installation parts needed.
Product works as it should and service with etrailer is exceptional. They are prompt and quick to rezone with solutions to questions and concerns. Delivery was very fast and Ashley E is delightfully helpful. I will continue to do business with etrailer and recommend them highly!
I bought it to upgrade the water port on my one year old Winnebago trailer. The old port was getting loose as the molded plastic was no longer retaining the fitting well. This new port is much better built and the water connection is less recessed so it is easier to access. The gripper makes connecting and disconnecting simpler as well.
The screw holes lined up well though not quite perfectly. It would probably have been fine to just driven the screws back in and been done with it, but I chose to rotate the unit about 30 degrees and created 3 new holes.
One minor gripe - The included screws are phillips only. Come on Valterra, this is for the RV industry where square drive is the standard. I solved it by just reusing my original screws.
This will work for a replacement, the base is metal and all items were there for an easy install. Thanks again, eTrailer
This is my 3rd try and 3 different brand of these plastic check valves. The original on the travel trailer leaked a steady drip from day one from 2017. I figured it was time to stop the leak. I tried one brand same leak, tried another same leak. I used Teflon pipe tape and then a Kevlar pipe sealant still leaked. The tolerances on these plastic pipe fixtures are terrible. Looking at the threads you can tell they’re going to leak. So I’m back to square one with the constant fast drip. I also tried a brass check valve before I learned you can go brass female to plastic male but not plastic female to brass male. The treads won’t seal.
Unfortunately this turned out to be junk. It started rusting around the edges within six months of purchase.
the Valterra Water Inlet for RVs - Metal Recessed Flange - White -
was a replacement for my 98 5th wheel, it is made will, great fit,
comes with all you need but tools to install the new one.
Looks great and works like it should.
The white color - I would call Artic white.
The product fits perfectly and was exactly what I needed. Thanks, etrailer!
Had usual ugly white city water intake cover/flange. The worst color to stand up to UV and mold/mildew stains. All my exterior trailer accessories are being converted to black; door hatch to drain outlet. Not only does the rig look immediately sexier, it will withhold the elements better.
This part, A01-0169LFVP, is not available through most competitors, yet it is a standard replacement for my travel trailer and has a standard 1/2" faucet hose hook up for the interior, and the exterior is a standard 3/4" garden hose hook up.
It couldn't get simpler than this, and thank you for having it in black!
I had to replace this due to the sun ruining the plastic surrounding the connection. Trim on the new one is nice white metal instead of the stock plastic. Came with everything I needed for installation. Only thing is the male-to-male adapter you may need, (I did) is plastic. Had to be real careful tightening plastic fitting to brass. Would be better with a brass adapter, but works fine.
Nice, durable, and easy to install. I used larger screws than the supplied ones, so I could utilize the existing holes in the trailer exterior wall. Recently learned to leave an elbow or leader hose attached to reduce wear on this fitting. I believe the check valve seized on my old inlet, causing it to leak both inside and outside the trailer, but it was simpler to change the 15-year-old inlet than to troubleshoot the check valve.
Very easy to install & tech support was awesome when I called to talk on the ph.
Nice solid build part
Perfect!
I haven’t installed it yet, but it’s just what I needed. Thank you for your fast service.
Installed today and it looks great. It was easy to replace the old intake and I wish I would have done it sooner.
Although I haven't been able to replace the old one yet. I know from past experience everything will work out fine. Great Company, Friendly CSR and very helpful
Reesa answered the phone on a Sunday, I made my order and the part was here in 3 days. It fits and works as described. I’m satisfied
Arrived timely and was easy to install. The inlet is sturdy and well made. The supplied videos were helpful for making the proper selection
