Valterra White Gravity City Water Fill Dish with Check Valve - RV, Trailer & Marine

Overview

The Valterra White Gravity City Water Fill Dish is designed to make refilling your water holding tank simple and flexible. It supports gravity fill when a threaded connection is not required and adds a city water connection for convenient garden hose hookups. This combination is especially useful at campsites, marinas, or when you need to fill from a pressurized source, all while maintaining a compact footprint that fits standard openings.

How it works

Use gravity fill to top off your tank without pumping, or connect a garden hose to the city water inlet for a controlled, pressurized fill. The unit features a backflow preventer in the city connection for added protection, helping to minimize the risk of backflow into your water supply. The design accommodates different hose sizes for gravity fill and a 1/2 inch threaded fitting for city connections, giving you versatility in various setups.

Key features and benefits

• Gravity and city water hookup lets you choose between gravity fill or hose-fed city water supply, depending on where you are and what you have access to.
• UV stabilized plastic construction helps resist sun exposure and outdoor wear, making it suitable for RV parks, marinas, and campsites.
• Flexible connections support 1 1/4" ID or 1 3/8" hoses for gravity fill and a 1/2" threaded pipe for city connections, broadening compatibility with common fittings.
• Air vent with screen accommodates a 1/2" ID hose to safely vent air during filling and prevent pressure buildup.
• Compact, universal fit with overall dimensions of 7 9/16" wide by 5 5/16" tall and a cutout of 5 3/4" by 3 3/4" to suit standard openings.

Practical use cases

Ideal for RVs, trailers, and marine setups where space is at a premium and reliable water filling is important. The backflow prevention feature provides a layer of protection when connected to city water sources, while the gravity fill option can be handy when shore power or hoses are in short supply. The unit’s low-profile silhouette helps it blend into exterior compartments without adding bulk.

What to know before you buy

• Dimensions and cutout measurements align with common installations, but confirm your specific opening before purchase.
• Ensure compatible hose sizes and pipe fittings match your current setup to maximize ease of use.
• Regular inspection of the vent hose and screen helps maintain smooth air flow during filling.

Overall, the Valterra White Gravity City Water Fill Dish offers a versatile approach to water tank refilling in outdoor environments. It presents practical options for different water sources while emphasizing ease of use and durability, without promising guaranteed outcomes in every scenario.
