BFXM RV City Water Inlet with Hose Elbow

The BFXM RV City Water Inlet with a 90° hose elbow is a durable, lead-free replacement inlet that provides a sealed, kink-resistant connection for RVs, travel trailers, campers, and boats.

When you need a reliable shore water hookup on the road or at a site, the right inlet keeps fresh water flowing without leaks, backflow, or damage from strained hoses. The BFXM inlet combines a lead-free brass thread interface with a tough polypropylene shell and a 90-degree elbow to minimize hose kinking and make tight installations simpler. It also includes a dust plug, check valve, and sealing ring to protect the water supply and maintain a clean connection.

How does this inlet prevent hose kinks and save space?

The 90-degree elbow routes the water line parallel to the vehicle surface, reducing sharp bends that cause kinks and pressure points. This configuration is especially useful where space behind the inlet is limited or when routing a hose around corners.

• Elbow orientation diverts hose along the vehicle exterior to avoid tight bending.
• Compact flange footprint fits flush with RV walls to conserve space.
• Durable elbow reduces wear where hoses contact the inlet over time.

What connections and sizes does the inlet support?

This inlet uses a 3/4" NH (garden-hose style) female face for standard city water hoses and a 1/2" NPT male thread for the internal plumbing connection. The included 3-inch mounting flange provides a standardized installation pattern for many RVs and boats.

• 3/4" NH female external connection for common campground hoses.
• 1/2" NPT male thread for secure attachment to plumbing fittings or adapters.
• 3-inch flange diameter for consistent, easy mounting and sealing.

Which features protect water quality and stop leaks?

The BFXM inlet packs several protective elements: a check valve to prevent backflow, a sealing ring to block leaks at the flange, and a dust plug to keep contaminants out when not in use. Together they help maintain a hygienic fresh-water source and reduce the risk of cross-contamination.

• Internal check valve prevents reverse flow into the fresh-water system.
• Sealing ring ensures a watertight flange connection when installed correctly.
• Dust plug keeps dirt, insects, and debris out when the inlet is unused.

How easy is it to install the inlet on my RV or boat?

Installation is straightforward with basic tools: choose the location, drill the hole, apply plumber's seal tape on threaded joints, and fasten the flange with screws. The 90° elbow simplifies routing and makes it easier to work in confined compartments compared with straight inlets.

• Drill a correctly sized hole and place the inlet flange against the exterior.
• Apply seal tape to the 1/2" NPT threads and tighten to prevent leaks.
• Secure the flange with screws and check the sealing ring for proper compression.

Who is this for? The BFXM RV City Water Inlet with Hose Elbow is built for RV and boat owners, DIY mechanics, and fleet maintainers who want a compact, corrosion-resistant water inlet that fits standard hoses and plumbing. It suits anyone replacing a worn inlet, upgrading to a kink-resistant elbow design, or outfitting a new camper with a dependable shore-water hookup. The combination of lead-free brass threads, a sturdy polypropylene shell, and anti-contaminant features makes it a practical choice for long-term, trouble-free freshwater connections on the road or at anchor.
