BFXM RV City Water Inlet – Black 90° Hose Elbow, Lead-Free Brass Threads, Low-Profile

BFXM RV City Water Inlet with a 90° hose elbow is a rugged, lead-free replacement inlet that prevents kinking and backflow while giving a clean, compact connection for RVs and campers.

When you need a dependable shore water hookup for your travel trailer, camper, or boat, the BFXM inlet combines corrosion-resistant materials and a low-profile elbow to make outdoor water connections simpler and safer. Built with a sturdy polypropylene exterior and lead-free brass threads, it reduces wear from impact and weather while the 90-degree elbow helps route hoses neatly in confined spaces. The unit includes a dust cap, internal check valve, and sealing ring so freshwater stays clean and your plumbing remains protected from contaminants and reverse flow.

How does the 90° elbow benefit tight installation spaces?

The elbow redirects the hose outlet parallel to the vehicle wall, which keeps hoses from protruding and reduces stress on the connection. That geometry limits kinking and accidental disconnection when parking or stowing gear.

• Low-profile design keeps hose close to the RV side
• Prevents sharp hose bends that shorten hose life
• Makes hookups easier in narrow or crowded service bays

What materials protect this inlet against corrosion and impact?

This inlet uses a polypropylene housing for toughness against knocks and UV exposure, while the pipe threads are machined from lead-free brass for reliable sealing and long-term durability. Those choices ensure a balance of mechanical strength and safe water delivery.

• Polypropylene shell resists weathering and impacts
• Lead-free brass threads minimize corrosion and ensure safe potable water contacts
• Sealing ring adds a water-tight barrier at the flange

Will it fit my RV’s plumbing and how is it installed?

The inlet provides a common 3/4" NH female to 1/2" NPT male thread transition and a 3-inch mounting flange, matching typical RV and marine freshwater fittings. Installation is straightforward and requires basic tools: choose the location, drill the correct hole, apply sealing tape, and secure the flange with screws.

• Standard 3/4" NH female to 1/2" NPT male threading for broad compatibility
• 3-inch flange for stable mounting and alignment
• Supplied dust plug, check valve, and sealing ring simplify final assembly

How does this inlet keep water clean and prevent leaks?

The component includes an internal check valve to reduce backflow risk and a dust cap to keep debris out when not in use. A resilient sealing ring and correct thread engagement lower the chance of drips and maintain a hygienic connection point for freshwater intake.

• Check valve prevents water from flowing back into your supply line
• Dust plug stops dirt and insects from entering the inlet opening
• Sealing ring and proper thread sealing tape protect against leaks

Who is this for: The BFXM RV City Water Inlet is aimed at RV owners, camper van converters, boaters, and maintenance professionals who want a compact, durable shore power-style water connection. It’s a practical upgrade for anyone replacing a worn inlet, installing a new water entry port, or seeking a tidier hose routing solution for crowded access panels.
