Posted: Thu Jul 22, 2021 12:26 pm Post subject: 76 Westy Sink Faucet Shore Water Question |
|
|
I've searched the forums and haven't found the answer to my question, though I might've missed something. Though my bus is a standard it has the sink and fridge out of a Deluxe, so it has the faucet with the shore inlet but it wasn't connected. In preparation for hooking up the shore inlet I pulled the faucet apart to replace the washer on the shore knob and found that the shore inlet is a dead end. I can't for the life of me figure out how the shore water is supposed to get to the faucet. I hooked everything up and it doesn't work.
Is there something I'm missing? Am I an idiot? Or both?
Thanks,
Mark

Do you have a fresh water tank? _________________ All the redemption I can offer, girl, is beneath this dirty hood

Yes I have a tank and that works fine. But when I hook up shore water and open the knob, no water. And inside the faucet I see no passage for shore water to enter the spigot.
Thanks,

I’m turning the knob on the right — the one I replaced the washer on. When I has it opened I could blow through the inlet with the knob and stem removed, and there’s no passage out of that side. _________________ 69 Continental MK III
