II think the same thing. A regulator with water (or corrosion in time) in it might not function properly. A 1/4' OD 1/8" NPT check valve directly into the waterport should be better. You could then keep water out of the regulator AND the compressor. As he shows it here, he is only protecting the compressor. However, there seems to be pretty limited availability of such a small check valve. The only one I see on Amazon has a review that it constricts airflow considerably because it's so small. you could probably connect an 1/8 male to 1/4" female into the water port and then the 1/4" check valve and then the 1/4NP press fit.
Great setup but how I have mine mounted and the amount of tree branches that scrape along the sides of the truck, there’s no way that small air hose from the regulator to the push fitting would survive.
@chowcares - About to build this out myself. Why did you do the one-way valve before the regulator. Wouldn’t it make more sense to have that part as close to the WaterPort as possible?

I want two weekenders, one for camp kitchen and one for shower. Should be easy enough to run the air hose through a splitter and keep both pressurized?
Great job! Just have a question, how can I control the air compressure below 40 psi if I use the on board arb air compressor ? By keep reading the air regulator gauge? Thank you
One issue I ran into is the push to connect valve that attaches to the waterport is no longer 1/4". I will order the 1/8" version to see if that works.
I actually replaced my radiator before I started this channel. It’s pretty straight forward I’m sure you’ll figure it out. If I break the radiator in the car again I’ll make a vid for sure
