City Water Inlet Pressure Release
Greetings,
We are new to Airstream and own a 2018 Flying Cloud 28RBT. We paid to have it winterized in order to learn the method of adding AF via the water pump (Camco winterization kit installed).
During the process, the tech ran us through the normal steps of evacuating all of the water in the lines and filling the lines with AF. That is, by running the pump to draw the AF from a jug and opening faucets, toilet, shower one-by-one until we saw "pink".
We have a question about the city water inlet. At the outside/external port there appears to be a valve behind the gasket and screen that when pushed releases pressure. When the tech showed us this, "pink" eventually came out through the port because of existing pressure in the line. At the time we assumed this was a normal step. After returning home, we searched but couldn't find a description of what this valve is called or purpose(s) other than releasing pressure in the line as described above for winterization.
Can anyone tell us what this valve is called so we can research its full function a bit more?
Thank you for your time and expertise.
