Standard brass adaptor for the two tap sizes in Australia. Use this part to connect your Flat Out hose to taps at your water supply.
Don’t leave it behind! This is one of the most commonly ‘lost’ items when traveling. We believe it’s because when you’re at home you become so comfortable with clicking a hose off a tap leaving this piece in place, that when you travel the same habit kicks in.
The 12mm (1/2 inch) male click-on end is compatible with all Flat Out drink water hose brass ends and female fittings from other brands.
The 19mm (¾ inch) & 25mm (1 inch) BSP threaded female side fits on to taps without thread tape as the inner rubber washers create the seal.
**If this item develops leaks in time, you can purchase replacement rubber o-rings and /or washers at your local hardware store.
You’ll be surprised how many RVs in Australia have this American style water inlet/regulator installed.
If your tank inlet on your caravan (or boat) looks like the one in the image, it will have a 1-1/6 inch NPT thread which isn’t the same as standard plumbing fittings you can find in Australia.

Contents
- BEST filter with brass fittings P16
- 0.7, 1.5 or 2.5m Premium drink filter-to-van attachment drink water hose P11L/P13L/P25L
- Brass inline stop-valve to control water flow at the van end P20
- Tank spout with brass snap fitting and AS/NZ4020 taste free rigid hose P17

Protect Your Caravan Pipes – The Smart Way
Did you know that mains water pressure in Australia can fluctuate anywhere between 40 PSI and 105 PSI?
While our hoses are designed to handle high pressures without breaking, your caravan or RV’s internal plumbing may not be as robust. Higher pressure can sometimes lead to blowouts or damage that might disrupt your trip. Adding to this, mains water pressure can vary significantly depending on your location and the water supply system.
While most newer caravans already have a pressure regulating valve installed, these can occasionally fail over time. Older vans, on the other hand, may not have one at all. Using an inline pressure-limiting valve can help provide added protection for your plumbing system.
What Makes This Valve a Handy Addition?
- Protects Against High Pressure: It keeps water pressure at a safe and consistent 50.8 PSI (350 kPa), helping to avoid damage to your caravan’s plumbing.
- Convenient to Use: Designed with male and female snap fittings, it’s quick to attach or remove when switching between mains water and tank filling.
- Built to Last: Made from durable, lead-free brass and compliant with Australian standards for reliability and peace of mind.
Specifications:
- Pressure Setting: 50.8 PSI (350 kPa)
- Material: Lead-free brass (AS1357.2 certified)
- Dimensions: 143mm x 35mm
- Fittings: Australian Standard multi-brand compatible male & female 12mm snap fittings
Added Protection for Worry-Free Travel
By adding a pressure-limiting valve to your setup, you can help safeguard your caravan’s plumbing against unexpected pressure surges. It’s a simple and effective way to enjoy more peace of mind while travelling.

This added convenience item is excellent for tank filling and/or inline water filter setup. The Flat Out Stop Valve offers three main benefits:
- Reduce mess: Easily stop the water flow when you're ready to pack up without making a mess.
- Control Flow: The slower the water flows through most filters, the better the result (cleaner water). Use this attachment to adjust the flow rate while filling your tanks.
- Quicker Packup: When packing up from a pressurised setup, you can turn off the water at the van end and easily depressurise the line before detaching hoses.
- Improve performance: Help pressurise your Flat Out water hose before tank filling to de-kink and ensure smooth flow thereafter.

Used to join 2 x drink water hoses with snap fittings.
This versatile kit enables you to repair a hole mid-way along your hose or modify its length for easier handling. Some customers prefer a shorter hose for convenience and then attach extra length when necessary. This kit allows you to adapt your long drinking water hose to our new modular system.
Please note, once you cut your hose and implement the new fittings, resulting in two hoses, only one will fit back into the multi-reel. The other hose will need to be hand-rolled and stored separately.
Our hoses are incredibly durable, but for those who like to be prepared, carrying a repair kit can save you from trouble in remote areas. If your older hose is starting to show signs of wear, this kit can extend its life before a full replacement is needed.
Kit includes:
- 2x brass nut and tail snap-fittings
- 2x rubber sleeves
- 2x aussie stainless steel hose clamps
- 1x brass hose coupling/joiner

Taste Free Hoses - What Does AS4020 Mean?
Flat Out drink water hoses have been designed with safety, taste, and quality in mind. Our AS4020-certified hoses meet the highest drinking water safety standard available in Australia. This certification involves rigorous lab testing — including microbial growth, taste, odour, and chemical leaching — and is conducted through accredited Australian facilities. These hoses are manufactured in an ISO9001-accredited facility and also meet the German BGA DIN39 potability standard.
In addition to AS4020, we offer products that meet AS2070 compliance, another Australian standard for food-grade plastics used in contact with drinking water. While AS2070 doesn’t involve the same level of testing as AS4020, it still ensures the hose material is non-toxic and safe for potable water.
Our new Teal hoses are compliant with AS2070 and also meet the FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 standard — a globally recognised U.S. food-grade regulation that specifies the safety requirements for rubber and elastomeric materials used in food and water applications. This includes stringent controls for extractables and leachables to ensure materials do not affect taste, smell, or safety. .
While the Teal hose is not yet AS4020 certified, it is manufactured to meet the same specifications. Based on both material certifications and our own internal testing, it offers the same level of performance and water safety as our original Premium hose — just without the local certification stamp (for now).

International Compatiblity
While Flat Out hoses are designed and made in Australia primarily for use in this country, they can be used anywhere and our international fan-base is growing. That said, the dual size tap adaptor that comes with some of our hoses is BSP threaded, and other locations use different guage (usually GHT or NPT). You should be able to purhcase compatible fittings for your location locally as the 1/2inch or 12mm snap fittings crimped to the hoses are universal. As an example, pictured here is a set of fittings that can be used in USA. These fittings were purchased at a general hardware store (in USA). If you are unsure what is needed in your location, you can email us to ask. Please give as much information as you can about the tap systems where you live and also if possible, send a photo of the water inlet on your RV.
Other Setup Tips
Excess length of hose between tap and van
- Attach the hose to the tap, and unspool full length of hose towards your van
- Make a coil (about 0.7m diameter) under your water inlet with the excess length
- Connect to van water inlet
- Turn on tap to add pressure
- gently release any kinks that may initially form when pressurising
Connection to your caravan, camper or motorhome
Our hoses work best with a downward connection, it's not essential as the hose under pressure will simply bend widely, but it does reduce bump hazzards if there is likely to people regularly walking past the side of your van. If you have a horizontal or upward BSP inlet, we advise additional purchase of an elbow adaptor.
Filling water tanks (no pressure connection)
- Cut off approximately 30 cm from a solid drink water hose and fit a standard snap fitting (or use our product P17)
- Use a coupler (P7 or any brand equivalent) to join the Flat Out hose and the ordinary hose, or insert your inline water filter if using.
- Insert ordinary hose in the tank opening; you are now ready to turn on the water supply tap and quickly fill up your water tank with ease
How to pack away your flat out hose
Top 4 tips for super easy hose packup onto Multi-Reel every time:
- Lay the hose flat and straight before starting to wind it onto the reel. This prevents kinks and makes for a smoother, faster rollup.
- Give the hose a few minutes to drain any excess water.
- Simply spin the Multi-Reel handle when you approach a twist in the hose. This flattens the twist onto the reel, preventing it from tightening and potentially causing a snag later.
- While winding, apply light tension to the hose about halfway between the reel and the end you're holding. This creates a smoother, tighter coil and prevents the hose from bunching up.
Seasoning the hose
Before using your new hose for the first time, it is a good idea to season your hose.This helps remove any potential residue left over from manufacturing. Here's how:
- Attach and Pressurize: Connect the hose to your outdoor tap and attach a trigger sprayer to the end. Turn on the water and pressurize the hose fully.
- Sun Exposure: Leave the pressurized hose in direct sunlight for a few days. Each time you walk past, simply discharge about 5 liters of water. This helps flush out any remaining debris.
Rest assured, leaving your hose in the sun won't damage it. As it is designed for continuous use and sunlight exposure.
So much space now!
