Swapping in JR Products RV water inlets is a straightforward way to refresh a worn city hookup and match common mounting patterns, including recessed installs with plastic or metal flanges. Choose options with a lead free brass check valve and 1/2" MPT or 1/2" FPT connections, and adapt to 1/2 pex with an adapter. These do not include a built-in pressure regulator, so keep your inline one.
Installation is straightforward. Use plumber's tape on threads, tighten with a wrench or vice grips, then test with a hose before fastening to the wall. Seal the backside of the flange with caulk or weather putty and use the included screws if provided. Plan around 30 minutes depending on access. If a check valve doesn't hold, test it before a trip and address it right away.
No, JR Products city water inlets do not include a built-in water pressure regulator. Keep using your inline regulator with the inlet. Verify the inlet has the brass check valve you want, and test your setup for leaks at hookup.
Choose JR Products options with brass check valves and fittings for sturdier connections. These help reduce issues like cracked plastic inlets or broken plastic check valves. If you want a tougher mount, look for versions with a metal flange; if you need a specific recess fit, some use a plastic flange sized for recessed mounting. Verify your hose connection tightens easily; some include a large swivel knob.
JR Products offers 1/2" MPT and 1/2" FPT connections; match what your RV uses. If you're going to 1/2 PEX, add a 1/2" adapter. Check your opening and holes: some fit a 1-1/2" or roughly 1-7/16" cutout with a 3" flange and about 1-15/16" hole spacing, while others need a 3-1/2" cutout with a 4-5/8" flange. Confirm these before ordering to reuse existing holes.
Yes, a JR Products replacement can fit B&B-style setups, but the special washer used on some B&B inlets isn't included or available. It can be installed without that washer—match 1/2" MPT or 1/2" FPT and confirm your cutout and hole spacing. JR Products brass valve options are lead free and include a Prop 65 warning.
