I replaced mine on my Apex Nano a few years ago with shark bite and they with great, and they do cost more! 👏👏👏 I will probably redo my ends next season to install the valve and male end so I can hook a garden hose up if needed and have pressure.

I used the same valves and they didn't last a year. I switched to metallic valves and they work great. Not much of a cost difference either. Either way, this is a great mod!
@RVTIPSANDTRAVELSАй бұрын
the pressure rating on the package of these valves is much lower than on the amazon listing, and i know some folks have had these leak. Personally, mine have not leaked, but when you get them and look at the packaging they are rated for something like only 20PSI. I have gotten a lot of feedback on these, most of it was good, but a few leaks here and there. I will probably switch to stainless once I have a free minute and release an update about them.

@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS2 ай бұрын
you can always use a brass male to female if you want to use a hose. I have no need to attach a hose to my low points since I have a T at my water pump if I want to run something into the plumbing. I also havent had any issues with insects. the area under the valve is small, less than an inch deep, and the valve is always closed even if something rests in there, its not getting in the plumbing and would be immediately flushed out if it did when the valve was open.

What's wrong with old water? Your only going to shower and clean dishes with it anyway and if the tank is sanitized regularly, no need to swap the existing water.
@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS3 ай бұрын
sanitizing your tank cleans out what was in there from before. It doesnt keep it clean because you rinse out the bleach after sanitizing. Regardless, mold growth can start to form in dark areas like pipes and fittings as early as 24-72 hours. Its just science, not something I made up, and you can research this too. Some folks spread out trips every month, much longer than 72 hours. Water becomes stagnant very quickly, and even if you dont drink the water, youre washing dishes you eat from, so is it really any different? Dish soap doesnt kill mold. Would you wash your dishes with water that was sitting in an open glass on your countertop for a month? Maybe, but I sure wouldnt.

@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS2 жыл бұрын
Hey John, thanks for letting me know that. The amazon description said they are rated for 100 psi. I will have to look into this, wondering if they changed the product since I bought mine. I have not had any problems with these leaking though. I think I might buy another pair and test them out since the packaging is saying 20 psi when the amazon description says 100. THanks again for the heads up, stay tuned...
@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS2 жыл бұрын
John I think I have it figured out. look at the back of the package. the 20 psi is referenced to the bendable hoses these are commonly used with. the valve itself is actually rated for 100 psi, says right on the back of the package. its confusing though.
