Water fill check valve

February 02, 2015, 09:09:46 am

I need to replace the check valve in the fresh/city water line, mine leaks out of the hose when running the pump. I did a search but most of it looks like for a U320. I found a part number Marshall Brass G748 on Barry's site. Looks like it might be at the hose reel connection on my 99 U295 with manual fill located under the bathroom sink, does anyone know it that's where it is?

On my older model coach the check valve is on the "roof" of the compartment, part of the plastic water hose assembly, directly above the water hose reel.  The valve is brass, and has a "quick-connect" fitting on both ends so it is easily removable.  Mine was also leaking.  I removed it, cleaned it out, reinstalled it...and it still leaks.  I plan to replace it with a quarter-turn SharkBite ball valve.

Very recently replaced the check valve on my 1999 U295 40ft.  Mine located just behind the hose reel and only took a few minutes to change.  Available at any plumbing shop or the big box Home Depot or Lowes.
