This Valterra gravity water inlet hatch is designed for fresh water holding tank fill applications. It combines a lockable hatch, UV-stabilized plastic construction, and vented gravity fill design in one replacement assembly.
Part Number: VAL2004BKBU Black Locking Hatch Gravity Fill + City Hookup
Overview
This Valterra gravity water inlet hatch is a practical replacement solution for RV and trailer fresh water systems using a gravity fill setup. It is designed for applications where the wall cutout, outer dimensions, and connection sizes match, and it features a lockable door, built-in venting, and a pressure-side connection with integrated check valve.
R&P Service Insight
Water inlet hatches often need replacement when the door cracks, the lock fails, or the original assembly no longer seals or fills correctly. The most important checks are the wall cutout, gravity fill hose size, and pressure connection style.
- Security: Lockable hatch includes two keys for controlled access to the water fill point.
- Fast Fill Venting: Built-in 1/2 inch vent supports faster gravity fill by helping tank air escape.
- System Match: Confirm your application uses the same gravity fill and city hookup connection sizes before ordering.
R&P Knowledge Hub
Compatibility: Intended for fresh water tank fill applications where the mounting cutout, outside dimensions, and connection sizes match this inlet assembly.
Vehicle / System Fit: Commonly used on RV, camper, and trailer fresh water holding tank systems with gravity fill.
Installation Notes: Verify wall cutout size, overall outside dimensions, gravity fill hose size, vent size, and city hookup thread before installation.
Performance Insight: The integrated vent helps support smoother tank filling, while the built-in check valve serves the pressure-side hookup connection.

- Gravity Fill Check: Gravity fill spout is listed for 1-1/8 inch or 1-1/4 inch hookup applications.
- Pressure Port Check: Confirm your application uses a 1/2 inch NPT city hookup connection.
