Drop-in sediment protection for any standard garden hose female coupling. These 1-inch filter washers use a 60x50 stainless steel mesh screen to block dirt, grit, and debris before they reach your RV water system, washing machine inlet, or any other hose-connected appliance -- no tools, no threading, no fuss.
Campground water pedestals, marina hookups, and residential spigots can all push fine sediment, rust particles, and grit into your hose line. Once that debris enters your RV's water system it can clog inline filters, pit pump check valves, damage faucet aerators, and shorten the life of your water heater. Camco's 20183 filter washers sit at the first point of connection -- inside the female garden hose coupling -- and stop contamination before it starts.
Each washer uses a 60x50 stainless steel mesh screen bonded to a standard 1-inch hose washer body. Installation takes seconds: remove your old rubber washer, drop one of these in, and tighten the coupling. The stainless mesh is corrosion-resistant and holds up to the water chemistry variations common at RV parks and campgrounds.
Fine woven mesh traps sediment, rust flakes, and debris that a plain rubber washer lets pass freely.
Designed for standard garden hose female couplings -- the universal standard used across RV fresh water inlets and campground pedestals.
Stainless steel mesh resists rust and holds up to repeated wetting, drying, and seasonal storage without degrading.
Keep one at the RV inlet, one at the water pressure regulator, and one as a spare -- or distribute across multiple hookup points.
These filter washers are versatile enough for multiple connection points in and around your rig:
No tools required. Simply remove the existing rubber washer from inside the female coupling, seat the Camco filter washer in its place with the mesh screen facing the water source, and hand-tighten the coupling. The washer seals and filters simultaneously -- no extra fittings or adapters needed.
These washers are mechanical sediment screens, not chemical treatment filters. They will not reduce chlorine, taste, odor, bacteria, or dissolved contaminants. For potable water quality, use these in combination with a dedicated carbon or multi-stage inline RV water filter such as the Camco TastePure series. Think of these as a pre-screen that protects your inline filter and extends its service life.
At campgrounds with visibly sediment-heavy water, check the mesh screen every few days. A clogged washer will reduce water flow noticeably. To clean, remove the washer, rinse under running water, and use a soft brush if needed. Replace the washer if the mesh is torn, distorted, or corroded.
