Flat Out Shut-Off Valve for Tank Filling
This added convenience item is excellent for tank filling with Flat Out hoses and B.E.S.T. filters. 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.
- Improve performance: Help pressurise your Flat Out water hose before tank filling to ensure a smooth and easy experience.
- 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.
Specifications:
- Construction: Brass, Plated Brass, and Stainless Steel
- Compatibility: The 3/4 BSP end fits directly into the B.E.S.T. filter. There is also a 1/2 inch BSP thread behind the 3/4 one, so you can use this with other brand filters with either diameter female BSP openings.
- Standard Fittings: The outer end of our valve meets 12mm (1/2 inch) snap fitting standards, compatible with any other hose snap fitting female, to work with Flat Out hoses, other brand hoses, our tank-filling attachment (P17), or one you make yourself.
- Two-Way: B.E.S.T. filters (and some others) are bi-directional. This valve also works in both directions, so you can use it at the top or bottom end of your filter and flip it any time without needing to remove it.
- Re-usable: The Filter Stop Valve is a one-time purchase, easily movable to your next filter when it's time for a change.
At Flat Out, we believe in ensuring high-quality water for your caravan and RV adventures. Using an inline filter is crucial, especially when filling your water tank. Chlorine in water can evaporate after a few days, leading to potential contamination if the water sits in your RV tank. Therefore, maintaining water safety falls on you when using water tanks.
We highly recommend the B.E.S.T. caravan water filters. These filters feature a high concentration of silver, excellent flow ratings, longevity, and carbon elements that remove bad taste and more. As enthusiasts of this Aussie-made filter, we've developed complementary products such as this valve to enhance its use.
Flat Out drinking water hoses are flat, saving you space. Once out of the Multi-Reel and filled with water, they become solid like a fire hose. However, it's essential to build up the pressure to solidify the hose and remove any kinks. Once smoothed out, you can release the valve to allow water to flow into your tank.
