Valterra Black Gravity Water Inlet Hatch A01-2004BK Fresh Water Fill
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.
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.
