KES RV City Water Inlet — 18/8 Stainless Steel RWI200-BS, Leak‑Resistant Check Valve & Filter Screen

KES All Metal RV Water Inlet RWI200-BS is a durable 18/8 stainless steel city water inlet with an upgraded one-way check valve, built-in filter screen, and a metal dust cap for long-lasting, leak-resistant outdoor use.

Replace brittle plastic inlets with this corrosion-resistant metal city water inlet designed for RVs, campers, trailers, boats and marine use. The unit uses 18/8 stainless steel construction, a pressure-tested check valve that prevents backflow, and a U-shaped filter screen to block sand and debris. It ships with installation parts and extra components so you can swap it in quickly and keep fresh water flowing during travel or seasonal storage.

How does this inlet stop leaks and hold up to weather?

The inlet is machined from 18/8 stainless steel rather than plastic, so it won't crack in cold weather or deform under heat. The upgraded check valve is tested for pressure and seals in one direction to prevent water backing up into your supply.

• 18/8 stainless resists corrosion and UV damage better than plastic
• Pressure-tested one-way check valve reduces leak risk
• Extra valve included for easy replacement

What makes installation fast and user-friendly?

Installation takes about five minutes for most setups because the inlet uses standard threads and comes with all required fittings and a clear instruction guide. A short flange and familiar 3/4" GHT female to 1/2" NPT male thread arrangement work with common RV hoses and filter systems.

• 3/4" GHT female to 1/2" NPT male thread compatibility
• 3-inch flange aligns with common inlet cutouts
• Included parts, instructions, and an installation video

How does it keep incoming water clean?

The inlet includes a pre-installed U-shaped filter screen that traps sand, grit and other debris before it enters your plumbing. An extra filter is included so you can replace the screen as needed without interrupting service.

• U-shaped screen captures particulate debris
• Extra filter provided for maintenance swaps
• Helps protect onboard pumps and filters downstream

What features help with everyday use and maintenance?

A full-metal dust cap with a flat-handle grip keeps contaminants out when the inlet isn’t connected and makes removal and tightening easier than plastic caps. The brushed stainless finish resists water spots and fingerprints so the inlet stays looking clean with minimal upkeep.

• All-metal dust cap prevents dust and insect entry
• Flat-handle grip simplifies hand-tightening
• Brushed finish hides stains and reduces cleaning frequency

Who is this for: Owners of RVs, travel trailers, camper vans, boats or marine vessels who want a long-lasting, metal replacement for factory plastic water inlets. It’s a practical upgrade for anyone concerned about freeze damage, backflow, or sediment entering their freshwater system, and for DIYers who prefer a quick, tool-light installation.
