Are water pressure regulators and hose elbows necessary?

[jcooksey]

I am seasonal and don't use a regulator but I do when I travel now after camping at KY Horse Park, and missed the warning their pressure is high. Blew the seal on the faucet in a brand new trailer. I use a brass elbow on the fresh water to keep the hose from kinking and close to the trailer.

Is there a rule of thumb as to what pressure it should be set at or is 40-50 lbs close enough? Thanks for your time folks!

AMAZON is a little scary sometimes!! I ordered it about four hours ago.

And while you are modifying your hose connections with a pressure regulator with built-in pressure gauge, suggest installing brass quick disconnect fittings with teflon tape at each hose end.....for quick connect/disconnect and leak-free connections. Plus an in-line turbine water meter for the black tank flush line to meter water into the tank before each use and during flushing/dumping.

That's the one we bought from them also. There were so many offshore knockoffs that try to undersell you. The Renator is by far the best one.
