hello everyone, I'm just pursuing getting more pressure @ the shower head, the hose is off @ the valve, I see the water restrictor, question- does that insert pop out or do I need to drill a bigger hole ?. I'm not to crazy about uping the pressure @ the spicket that reg. is @ 50psi to the hole coach.

I would start by making sure you don't have a restriction in the head or a clogged screen or filter.

Does the water restrictor pop out or do I have to drill? A: YES
It depends on your rig or rather the shower head in the rig.
I have a collection of water pressure regulators
1st is an old (I mean VINTAGE old) Marshall Brass standard.. It will not pass enough water to feed the thing (I may have tossed or recycled it)
2nd is a "High volume" this one too is one of the same shape but it has a bigger passage so it almost, I mean ALMOST passes enough water to make me happy
3rd is a Watts.. It works wonders

If you have a whole house filter make sure it's not clogged...mine was...huge difference when changed!!

I drilled mine and it didn't help. I changed my old regulator to a whole house Watts and now I have no more problems.

I removed my built in regulator...and don't use the common inline at the facuet either....my setup begins at the supply end with a whole house regulator (watts or other) that adjusts the pressure without decreasing the volume) a filter is attached to that...then the hose to the coach. There is where I removed the OEM regulator and installed a brass garden facuet.... then removing the valve stem and capping it off so it wouldn't look ridiculous. In between that and the hose is a pressure gauge. It makes for a professional looking set up that works very well.... meaning that the coach has full volume everywhere at the 40 psi input. I might add that I don't assemble anything when hooking up....just drag out the hose assembly and screw it on. Also I usually use a splitter to get the desired angle for my large filter and at the same time, provide an another facuet outlet for whatever.

I think that is the one I have....it has large bore internals of about 1/2"..unlike many others that are about 1/4"..and that is what affects the flow..
