KES RV City Water Inlet — 18/8 Stainless Steel RWI200-BS with Check Valve & Filter, Brushed Finish

If you swap between campgrounds, store your trailer outdoors, or simply want a more durable water inlet than plastic, this KES 18/8 stainless-steel unit offers metal construction, an upgraded check valve, and a pre-installed filter screen. It’s designed to accept standard 3/4" garden-hose-thread freshwater hookups and convert to a 1/2" NPT inlet to feed RV plumbing, with a brushed finish that resists stains and keeps the exterior tidy.

How does this inlet prevent leaks and backflow?

The RWI200-BS uses an upgraded internal check valve that enforces one-way water flow and seals under pressure testing. The metal construction and precision threads reduce the risk of cracking or deformation that often leads to leaks in plastic alternatives.

• 18/8 stainless-steel body resists cracking and warping
• Enhanced check valve for reliable one-way sealing
• Pressure-tested components to ensure leak-free performance
• Includes one spare check valve for quick replacement

Will it fit my RV and standard freshwater hoses?

Yes — the inlet accepts 3/4" GHT female connections and converts to a 1/2" NPT male thread with a 3" mounting flange, matching common RV city water plumbing. The package includes all necessary hardware and clear installation guidance so most owners can install it themselves in about five minutes.

• 3/4" GHT female to 1/2" NPT male thread adapter
• 3" flange for standard RV cutouts and mounting bolts
• Complete hardware, instructions, and an installation video
• Quick, tool-minimal installation without professional help

How does the built-in filter and dust cap protect my water system?

An integrated U-shaped filter screen blocks sand, sediment, and small debris before water enters your RV plumbing, extending the life of inline filters and preventing clogs. The included full-metal dust cap with a flat-handle grip keeps contaminants out when the inlet is not in use and resists damage better than plastic caps.

• Pre-installed U-shaped filter screen prevents grit entry
• Extra replacement filter included for maintenance ease
• All-metal dust cap with ergonomic flat-handle for secure sealing
• Brushed finish resists fingerprints and water marks

What finishes and durability can I expect over time?

The RWI200-BS features a brushed 18/8 stainless-steel finish designed to resist water staining and maintain a clean, polished appearance through repeated hookups and outdoor exposure. Its all-metal build reduces the need for frequent replacements common with plastic inlets.

• Brushed stainless finish hides fingerprints and water spots
• 18/8 alloy for corrosion resistance in outdoor environments
• Metal cap and body withstand impacts and cold weather better than plastic
• Maintenance-friendly: replaceable valve and filter parts included

Who is this for: RV, camper, trailer, marine, and boat owners who want a sturdy, long-lasting city water inlet that minimizes leaks and debris entry. It’s a practical upgrade for anyone replacing worn plastic inlets, fitting new freshwater systems, or seeking a professional-looking brushed stainless finish that stays clean over time.
