The Whale Easi-Slide Body - Water Inlet With Pressure Switch provides a convenient external fresh water connection for caravans, motorhomes and campervans using a compatible Whale water supply system.
Designed as part of the Whale Easi-Slide utility point range, this version incorporates an integrated pressure switch, allowing the pump to respond to changes in pressure within the vehicle's water system. When a tap or shower is opened and the pressure drops, the pressure switch activates the connected pump to supply water.
The inlet can be used with compatible Whale Watermaster external submersible pumps and is also suitable for connection to the Whale Watermaster mains water system. Whale specifically lists the Watermaster EP1612 and Watermaster Mains EM9433 as suitable products for this inlet.
A 12mm male Whale Quick Connect stem on the rear provides a straightforward connection into compatible Whale 12mm plumbing systems. The unit operates from a 12V DC electrical supply and the external face is rated IP45 when the Easi-Slide lid is closed.
As with the other modular Whale Easi-Slide products, the utility point body and exterior lid are purchased separately. This allows you to select the Easi-Slide lid colour and style to match the other external utility points fitted to your vehicle.
