Renator RV City Water Inlet Connection – Brass 1/2" Thread Flange with Check Valve, 3" Mount

Renator RV Water Inlet Connection is a brass city water inlet flange with an integrated check valve that provides a durable, leak-resistant hose hookup for campers and RVs.

This heavy-duty inlet replaces flimsy plastic fittings with a brass threaded pipe and flange engineered for outdoor use. Designed to accept standard garden hoses, it screws into a 1/2" threaded pipe inside the RV and fastens with three included screws. The built-in check valve helps prevent backflow, while the brass construction resists corrosion and provides a more reliable seal when used with plumber's tape.

How simple is installation and what tools do I need?

Installation is straightforward for most DIYers and RV technicians. Remove the old flange, apply plumber's tape to the brass threads, thread the new inlet into the fitting until snug, then secure the flange with the three supplied screws. No special drilling is normally required if replacing an existing inlet.

• Remove old flange screws and unscrew old inlet
• Wrap Teflon/plumber's tape on male threads for a better seal
• Thread new brass inlet into 1/2" pipe and tighten by hand or wrench
• Fasten flange with the included three screws; check orientation for proper valve angle

Will this inlet fit my RV and standard garden hoses?

The Renator flange is designed to be a universal retrofit for most RVs that use a 3" diameter flange opening and a 1/2" threaded interior pipe. It accepts standard garden hose fittings when connected through the RV's water plumbing. Confirm your RV's existing flange diameter and thread size before installation to ensure compatibility.

• Flange diameter: 3" (fits typical RV openings)
• Thread connection: 1/2" internal pipe thread
• Depth: 1-5/8" to clear interior plumbing space
• Works with standard garden hose connections via RV plumbing

How does the built-in check valve and brass construction help long-term use?

The integrated check valve reduces the risk of backflow into the RV water system when external pressure fluctuates. Brass threading and body are more resistant to cracking, UV damage, and corrosion than plastic, giving a longer service life for outdoor installations. Use of plumber's tape with brass threads improves sealing and reduces leaks over repeated hookups.

• Check valve prevents reverse water flow and contamination risk
• Brass materials resist outdoor wear better than plastic
• Durable threads hold a tighter, longer-lasting seal with tape
• Suitable for repeated seasonal hookups and storage cycles
