Pressure regulator

[lmadsen]

What PSI regulator do most of you use in your RV's specifically your Class A motorhome?

I set mine to 50 PSI but I rarely see that on my pressure regulator which is mounted behind the fresh water reel so I am not setting a pressure at the spigot which then endures a pressure loss before it gets to your coach.

I set mine to 60 PSI.

We primarily use a fixed 55 psi regulator...

Pressure Regulators

An industrial regulator with larger orifices for better flow is the Watts Model 263A. This brass unit also offers an adjustable pressure limit and is available with a pressure gauge. Because of its size and lighter weight, it is our most popular model and it produced a flow of 4 to 4.5 GPM in...

...and set our adjustable Watts 263A at the same 55 psi.

Rarely do we encounter park water pressure at 50 psi or greater, but have occasionally found 100+ psi at a few parks over the years. And, we have found some parks that were below 40 psi during the high-use periods and more than double that at other times. That’s why it is important to use a regulator even if you measure water pressure at safe levels when you first hook up.

Typically we set our regulator at 40 psi. and Newmar tests at 60 psi for leaks, no more. Based on this I think between 40 - 55 psi is reasonable.

I keep mine at 60. The built in pump provides 65psi, so this allows me to run off the tank and let autofill do its thing.

I personally tested every newmar at 100psi for 30 min. Any failures would be handled right there as warranty work, as the test was done during pdi.
