SHURFLO pressure-reducing city water entry valve — Chrome wall-mount, 65 PSI, built-in check valve

SHURFLO by Pentair Pressure Reducing City Water Entry is a chrome wall-mount valve that limits incoming water pressure to 65 PSI while providing a built-in check valve for reliable, code-compliant city water connection.

This compact, wall-mounted unit simplifies hooking an external water source to an RV, boat, or mobile facility. Engineered as SHURFLO model 183-029-14, the assembly combines a pressure-reducing valve and an integrated check valve in a threaded, chrome-finished housing. It reduces the need for extra inline components, resists leaks and cracking, and is designed to meet or exceed check valve code requirements.

How does this device protect plumbing from high city water pressure?

The valve lowers incoming supply pressure to a safe maximum of 65 PSI so downstream plumbing and fixtures are less likely to see damaging surges. It consistently regulates flow without manual adjustment, helping to preserve hoses, fittings, and onboard water systems.

• Factory-set pressure reduction to 65 PSI for predictable protection
• Threaded inlet and outlet for secure connections
• Built-in check valve prevents backflow into the city supply
• Chrome housing resists corrosion in exterior installations

What installation steps are required for a wall-mounted city water entry?

Mounting the unit requires a cutout or bracket on the exterior wall and standard threaded plumbing connections. The design is intended for straightforward attachment and sealing; use appropriate marine- or RV-grade sealant and thread tape to ensure a leak-tight joint.

• Secure to wall bracket or panel using manufacturer-recommended screws
• Use thread sealant or PTFE tape on inlet/outlet threads
• Connect to supply hose with matching threaded fittings
• Verify orientation so the integrated check valve operates correctly

How durable is the SHURFLO 183-029-14 under typical outdoor conditions?

Built with stress- and crack-resistant materials and a chrome finish, this city water entry is made to withstand exposure commonly encountered on RVs and boats. Its leak-tight construction and quality components aim to minimize maintenance and provide consistent service life.

• Chrome finish for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning
• Sturdy body resists mechanical stress and cracking
• Factory-tested for leak-tight performance
• Meets check valve code requirements for safety and compliance

Why choose a unit with an integrated check valve?

An internal check valve eliminates the need to fit a separate backflow device, saving time and reducing the number of potential leak points. It ensures one-way flow and helps satisfy codes that require backflow prevention at city water connections.

• Built-in check valve prevents backflow without extra parts
• Saves installation space and simplifies plumbing layout
• Reduces potential leak locations compared with separate fittings
• Helps meet or exceed local backflow code requirements

Who is this for: The SHURFLO by Pentair pressure reducing city water entry is intended for RV owners, boaters, fleet operators, and mobile facility installers who need a compact, code-conscious solution to connect to shore or municipal water. If you want a single, wall-mounted unit that limits incoming pressure to 65 PSI, provides a check valve for safety, and reduces installation complexity, this model 183-029-14 offers a durable, chrome-finished option that simplifies city water hookups.
