FWC plumbing maintenance tool

[deezlgeezr]

Has anyone ever used one of these devices on their FWC when performing winterizing or general storage? I acquired one and think it will be useful but am concerned with overpressurizing the plumbing system. I guess I'll just proceed with caution; all faucets open, water heater open, shower open, etc.

All opinions welcome - Thanks in advance!

Interesting...
I think as long as you're conservative with the amount of air pressure you run through it with the cut off valve you should be ok.

With one of these to set the pressure to a few PSI:

To blow out my shower using my ARB onboard compressor.

RV systems designed to RVIA standards are certified to 60 psi and are normally tested at much higher pressure than that at the factory. If you want a shut off just used one for hoses from the garden department at Home Depot or Lowes. A number of truck camper manufacturers are not RVIA members, but I would hope they design to the same standard.
