Camco 40055 Brass Water Pressure Regulator
September 8, 2013 - Comment
Camco RV Brass Water Pressure Regulator helps to protect the RV plumbing and hoses from damage caused by high-pressure city water. Reduce water pressure to a safe, consistent 40–50 lbs of operational pressure. Protects equipment and prevents hose failure, to help prolong equipment life. (FGH x MGH) Patented.

Not good for long-term use Got one of these when I blew out a couple hoses due to high pressure. While it did reduce the pressure, it caused backflow problems that caused hammering pipes. Resolved that, and the regulator stopped working. Turns out if it sits with backpressure on it it starts to stick. I’m on my second Camco reg and it is now starting to fail. If you use this a lot (I live in my RV, so it gets constant use) go for a good reg. If you only use it occasionally this is probably fine.
It’s a good Regulator – not an anti-hammer or filter First off, I use one of these on my RV. It works great, and rare to find actual good-quality metal ANYTHING now days. It gets pressure below 50-psi…depends on several variables as to how much lower…their ad info is right though, always between 40-50 psi.As for every one of the reviews I’ve read here on the ‘negatives’…I’d like to point out that this is NOT an anti-hammer reservoir, nor is it a filter. Nasty water at any RV park will most assuredly clog it up to where it…
