Replacement for City Water Inlet

[rkresge]

2015 Jay Feather 23RLSW, the city water inlet is starting to leak. There are about 500 choices for replacements on Amazon. Any suggestions on replacements you've had success with?

Thanks!

i would call jayco and get the part number and then go to your closest dealer and order.

This design is very common. Difference in this (in the link) and what I had originally is the new ones have easier to grip star thing to tighten the hose to it. Also, I purchased this brand because they had both white and black in stock and I wanted to have one of each color with the black being for the black tank rinse (not all rv's have that), and I just wanted another safety aid even though there is a label above both inlets (on mine). If this looks close to what you have, then this should work as all of this style are the same connection and screw holes and very common.

I noticed they have stainless steel options, too. Not sure how they perform over the plastic, but I figure stainless is nice?

Another interesting and different option. Go to the big A and search 'Aquor.'

I had to have a city water inlet replaced under warranty. Found the big plastic screw collars are a real pain. Now I use a brass 90 degree elbow with a quick connect attached. I spin the elbow into the plastic screw collar, give it a snug tweak, attach the water hose with the quick connect and it's all set. One for city water, one for black tank rinse. It's really quick, easy and, perhaps best of all, does not require turning the awkward and kind of iffy plastic screw collar on the trailer. Caveat: must always be aware of weight placed on the water fill collar. My assembly includes a 6" or so short piece of hose, with water filter attached, cutoff valve, quick connect. Then a foot or two of the end of the main water hose all supported by the intake collar. So far no problems.

Not sure exactly what type you have, but this is what i bought for my last 2 rigs. Well made and all metal. Usually very simple to replace.

What a great idea to use the quick connects. My next mini mod for sure! Thanks for the suggestion!

Nice idea. I've been using a quick connect on my black tank rinse fitting for a couple of years, mostly so I could have a valve on it. Thanks!
