Description
Jabsco 45psi Flush Mount Water Regulator | Boat Supply Store
Safeguard your onboard water systems from damaging fluctuations in municipal or campground water sources with this permanently installed pressure regulator. It automatically reduces incoming pressures, which can surge to 125 psi, to a consistent and safe 45 psi. The integrated backflow preventer ensures system integrity, while the removable debris strainer extends the life of pumps, filters, and seals by capturing particulate matter.
