Maybe I am overthinking here but I am having trouble understanding one of the warning labels on the lcc.
It states:
Do not depress city water connection valve with pressure in lines
Does this mean don't kink the hose? If that's not what it means then I have no idea.

On our trailer it states do not change the valve setting while pressure is applied, thus you turn off water to release pressure, switch the valve settings an then turn water back on ... I believe yours basically means the same, release pressure before changing valve settings on your water panel ... Now I could be wrong an there are far smarter people on this from than me but I believe I am pretty close  Chuck |

I would say do not depressure the water line while you still have the water supply turned on.

Thinking further on this, what you said makes sense, but the label when I read it again, it does not make sense to me.The phrase " Do not Depress" does not tie into the logic. To me it would mean the opposite. In other words "Leave the pressure on". Maybe I am just still sleepy. If I were to depress the city water it would mean turn it off ---Crazy!

I believe (but could be wrong) it is saying do not try to remove the hose from the trailer (depressure, they are just trying to save money on letters using depress) while the water supply is still turned on (pressure in lines).

OK so lets substitute "Depress" with "Depressurize" Do Not Depressurize City Water Connection Valve with Pressure in Lines"
What this now says is do not turn off the water with Pressure in Lines. I think whomever worded this label, was either high on something, or, they are from another Country and did some form of translation  |

I'm going to go with Chuck. Those internal switching valves are probably just light plastic rather than heavy duty ball joints. Under pressure it could possibly mess up the valve when switching.

I know, it sounds absolutely reality. I would agree. I just for the life of me cannot figure out why the label is written the way it is. How long has this label been in production? Bob |

What I think they mean is don't push the check valve in the center of the freshwater connection. You will get sprayed and possibly damage the little plastic check valve poppet thingie.

That was my thought all along, but I just let them have their fun. Just to be clear, nvguy is talking about where you connect the hose to the RV. Some push in the center to allow anti-freeze to flow out thru and protect the beginning of the water supply. Often it turns out badly as he stated. |

Probably so guys, my valves are levelers not buttons, they are still plastic not metal so I take care when switching things an relieve pressure when adjusting things Safe Travels Chuck |

OK, it looks like this must be about the pressure. So for now I am going to just make it practice to relieve all pressure before I change the configuration in any way.
