Title: Maximum water pressure?
Post by: TheLuvShack on February 11, 2019, 04:54:54 pm
Lots of posts on water pressure but I can't find a post stating the maximum water pressure that a 2012 PC can handle without damage to the water lines. Anybody know?

Mine was leaked tested by the factory at 40 psi.

Call the factory, I *believe* it's designed for closer to 70 psi but am NOT sure of that.  I do know that my pressure regulator is set at 50psi and I have no problems.

FWIW - we have a 2006 and run 50 like donc13 does

An RV water pressure regulator is a small, but useful, device that keeps the psi, of the water entering your RV, down to a safe level. How low should you go? Well, even though the plumbing in newer RVs can take up to 100 psi, the recommended water pressure for newer RVs is around 60 psi, and 50 psi for older ones.

I was told the plumbing was designed for 85 psi max as a test but normal use should never be more than 50 - 55psi.  I strongly suggest using a pressure regulator.  I've been to parks with big signs stating "Water pressure high, we are NOT responsible for damage.  Regulators available for sale at front desk".

I have a gauge before and after my regulator and I've seen pressure as high as 90 psi at the park faucet.

Thanks for the replies. I have a pressure regulator set at 45psi. I was hoping to run higher for more pressure. I think I'll stay at 45psi.
