Ordered the Shurflo replacement as I couldn't find a fitting without the regulator that wouldn't require new mounting holes for the screws. I'm going to use the external regulator between the hose and the campground faucet to prevent a burst hose which happened once with a previous rig. Will see if pressure is affected by having two regulators. Thanks for the info.

Jim
I took mine out and disassembled it took out the pressure regulator plunger and spring leaving only the check valve intact
The back of the unit is held together by four screws
I now use an external mounted adjustable pressure regulator.
It made a high difference in pressure and flow rate in the coach.
Hope this helps

Thanks Eric, that's something I wouldn't have thought of. The replacement I ordered arrives today. I'm going to try what you suggested with the old one and see how that goes. Either way I've got a solution thanks to the knowledge and experience on this forum. Thanks to all.

Replaced the regulator today. It literally took longer to unscrew the four screws. The old one was manufactured 10/2001. Noticeable change with the new one. Thanks all.
