too much pressure?

Guy,
My Airstream, with rear bath, is a bit older than yours, and probably not as easy to hook utilities up.

To access water & power on mine, I remove the "One Stop Service Center" door above the bumper. This exposes alot of the plumbing seen in my picture above. I then just screw a hose onto the fitting.

On yours, I would think the check valve will be the first hard piece of plumbing any flexible line hooks to. But yours is so new....

The pressure rating is not in the service manual. There is a plate on the top of the valve that has the opening pressure stamped on it.

Thanks Brett. The only problem is that I do not know what the pressures are supposed to be. It is possible that my overpressure relief valve was replaced at some point with the wrong one. I was hoping the shop manual would list the correct values.

Thanks for looking it up,
Tom

I stand corrected - there is coupling at one end. It's still a pretty repair job, though:
