RecPro RV city water inlet, Black — brass check valve, drinking-water safe connection

RecPro's RV city water inlet is a durable black fill port with a brass check valve and drinking-water-safe materials for reliable on-the-road water access.

If you need a dependable way to connect shore water to your RV, this RecPro inlet offers a secure threaded connection, a built-in check valve and a weather-resistant housing that blends with most coach exteriors. It’s designed and manufactured in the U.S.A., using brass threading for leak-resistant hookups and plastic external components treated to resist UV, impact and road salt.

How does this inlet keep water safe and sanitary?

The RecPro inlet is built from materials rated safe for drinking water and includes a check valve to help prevent backflow into the vehicle plumbing. Using brass pipe threads reduces corrosion risk at the connection point, while the interior components avoid contaminants commonly found in cheaper fittings.

• Drinking-water-safe plastics and seals
• Brass pipe threads resist corrosion and provide a tight seal
• Check valve reduces backflow and cross-contamination
• Manufactured in the U.S. to consistent material standards

Will it stand up to outdoor use on the road?

The outer housing is made from impact- and UV-resistant plastic, so it tolerates sun exposure, bumps and common roadside elements like salt spray. The construction is intended to keep the inlet functional and looking good through repeated hookups and seasonal storage.

• UV-stable plastic resists sun degradation and discoloration
• Impact-resistant design prevents cracking from minor knocks
• Corrosion-resistant brass threads for long-term durability
• Available in black to match many RV exteriors

How easy is it to install and use?

Installation uses standard brass pipe threads, which many RVers and technicians are familiar with, and the check valve simplifies hookups by preventing water from draining back. The inlet’s shape and mounting points are designed to align with typical RV cutouts for a straightforward replacement or upgrade.

• Standard brass pipe threads for common hose fittings
• Simple mounting geometry for retrofit or new installs
• Check valve provides user-friendly, secure fills
• No special tools or adapters required in most setups

What maintenance does the inlet require?

Routine care is minimal—periodic visual inspection and cleaning of the spout and threads will keep the inlet performing well. If stored in cold climates, drain and winterize the RV system as usual to avoid freeze damage to plumbing components.

• Inspect and wipe threads to remove debris
• Check the check valve operation during service intervals
• Replace seals if wear or leaks appear over time
• Follow standard RV winterization practices in freezing conditions

Who is this for: The RecPro RV City Water Inlet is aimed at RV owners, fleet managers and service technicians who want a reliable, American-made shore water connection that combines brass-thread durability with a weather-resistant exterior. It’s a practical choice for anyone replacing a worn inlet or upgrading to a safer, corrosion-resistant filling point without altering standard plumbing fittings.
