Valterra Made in USA Garden Hose Thread Valterra P23500VP RV Water System Blow Out Plug

The fastest way to prep your RV water lines for winter. Thread this compact plug onto your fresh water city-water inlet, connect a standard air compressor, and blow out every drop of standing water before freezing temps can crack your pipes or fittings. One simple tool, one connection, done.

Blow Out Your Water Lines the Right Way

Winterizing an RV water system with compressed air is faster and more thorough than antifreeze alone -- but only if you can get a solid air connection at the water inlet. The Valterra P23500VP gives you exactly that. Its Schrader valve-style center port accepts a standard air compressor chuck, while the outer shell threads directly onto the city-water inlet using standard garden hose thread (GHT). No adapters, no improvised fittings, no leaks.

Valterra manufactures this plug in the USA from durable plastic rated for repeated seasonal use. At under one ounce, it stores in a tool pouch, a glove box, or a small parts bin without taking up meaningful space. It is a tool you reach for once or twice a year and rely on completely -- compact size and proven design matter more than features you will never use.

GHT City-Water Thread

Threads directly onto the standard 3/4 in. GHT city-water inlet found on the vast majority of RVs, campers, and travel trailers -- no adapter required.

Schrader Valve Center Port

The center port accepts a standard air compressor inflation chuck for a secure, leak-free connection while you blow out each line.

Compact and Lightweight

Weighs approximately 0.05 lbs. Fits easily in a tool bag, storage compartment, or parts drawer for year-round readiness.

Made in USA

Manufactured by Valterra in the USA. Includes a limited 90-day manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

How to Use This Blow Out Plug

Using the P23500VP is straightforward, but the sequence matters to protect your pump and fixtures:

  • Turn off and drain your fresh water tank completely before blowing out lines.
  • Bypass your water heater using the bypass valve -- do not force air through the tank.
  • Thread the blow out plug hand-tight onto the city-water inlet.
  • Connect your air compressor chuck to the Schrader valve port on the plug.
  • Set compressor pressure to 30-50 PSI maximum -- higher pressure risks damaging fittings, valves, and the water pump.
  • Open one faucet at a time (hot and cold separately) until only air exits, then move to the next.
  • Run the toilet flush, outdoor shower, and any other fixtures in sequence.
  • After all lines are clear, remove the blow out plug and store it for next season.
Why Compressed Air Winterizing Works
Blowing out lines with compressed air removes water that antifreeze alone can miss -- especially in low points and traps. Many RV technicians use both methods together: air first to remove bulk water, then a small amount of non-toxic antifreeze to protect the pump, trap, and drain seals.
Fitment Note
The P23500VP uses standard 3/4 in. GHT (garden hose thread) -- the same thread on virtually all RV city-water inlets built in North America. If your RV has a non-standard inlet (rare on modern units), verify your inlet thread before ordering.
Air Pressure Limit
Do not exceed 50 PSI when blowing out RV water lines. Most RV plumbing, pump check valves, and low-point drain valves are not rated for sustained high-pressure air. 30-50 PSI is sufficient to clear all water from standard 1/2 in. and 3/8 in. PEX or poly lines.
Seasonal Maintenance Tip
Inspect the Schrader valve core each season before use. If the valve leaks air or feels stiff, a standard Schrader valve core tool (available at any auto parts store) lets you replace the core in under a minute -- keeping the plug performing like new for years.
Complete Your Winterizing Kit
Pair the P23500VP with Valterra's non-toxic RV antifreeze and a water heater bypass kit for a complete cold-weather shutdown. A good blow out sequence followed by antifreeze in the P-traps and pump gives you maximum freeze protection across the full water system.

Important Information
  • Do not exceed 50 PSI air pressure -- higher pressure can damage RV water pump check valves, low-point drains, fittings, and flexible hose connections.
  • Always bypass the water heater before using compressed air to blow out lines. Forcing high-pressure air into the water heater tank can damage the anode rod fitting, pressure relief valve, or tank lining.
  • Turn off and fully drain the fresh water holding tank before beginning the blow-out process.
  • Air compressor, hose, and chuck are not included -- this product is the inlet fitting only.
  • Verify your RV city-water inlet uses standard 3/4 in. GHT before purchase. Non-standard inlets may require an adapter not included with this product.
  • This plug is intended for seasonal winterization use. It is not designed for continuous pressurized air applications or permanent plumbing installation.
Instructions: Plug in this Aqua Pro blow out plug into your RVs city water inlet. Open all faucets inside and out. Plug your air compressor/air pump to the Aqua Pro blow out plug. Start releasing low pressure and gradually increasing pressure until all the water is clear of the lines.
