B&B Nautilus P1 RV Water Control Panel - 16-1/2" Tall x 11-1/2" Wide - Black

Video Transcript for Hands-On with the B and B Nautilus P1 RV Water Control Panel

Hello, Etrailer neighbors and friends, Steve here with etrailer.com. Today we're looking at our B&B Nautilus P1 RV water control panel, and it's in a polar white or a black option. So folks, if you're not sure which one you need, I'm gonna pull up an image with both item numbers here. The white is item number BM43GR. The black version is item number BM63GR. So make sure you're on the right page, double checking that item number, getting the right color that you need, but I do wanna show you that we do carry 'em in both black or the polar white.

So folks, obviously you're probably most likely just replacing your P1, but if not, I'll give you all the information as well anyways on it. So looking at the item itself, again, it is basically a multifunction control panel system for filling, sanitizing, and winterizing your RV's water system. So you can see you got the shower option on top. It's got a quick connect here. You got your three coaxial cables for satellite, cable, or antenna.

You got the pump on and off switch, you've got all these diverter nozzle handles here. You can spin them up or down, sideways. Depending on the corresponding color combination, you can have dry camping, which is the way it's set up now, you could go to a powerful tank, or power fill tank, rather, city inlet tank. So this would go this way. Blue and black would divert that way, and green would come down.

So basically it's got pictures that are colorized to match what you're doing. You've got the city water connection here. Never, never, just like it says, depress that valve when there's pressure in the line, or in my opinion, never press it either way just to be safe. And then you've got the other connection here with the built-in filter already. Each one gives you a replacement screen filter, the corresponding color of screws, and little adapters here and an extra switch and an extra cover there as well.

So looking at the back of this guy, or this guy, either way. Again, the same layout, just different color. The black's kind of hard to see with all the black plastic, so we're gonna focus on the white one. So again, this is the back. You can see all the different setups here and that's how those diverters work. You're diverting water from one area to another and so forth. So please, please read the instructions that come with either one of these kits. Make sure you're connecting everything accordingly. Take your time, look at everything. I recommend laying it out first. If you're just replacing this, you should theoretically be able to just, you know, put it in, take the ones off one by one, mark 'em somehow with different color tape or however you do it, to make sure you're connecting the right one up. If you're starting from scratch and adding this, the cutout dimension is gonna be a hole or rectangle 10 inches by 15 inches tall on that cutout. And then again, lay out all your plumbing before you finally connect it and make sure it's where you need it before you make any kind of permanent connections. As far as overall dimensions, it's 16 3/4 inches tall and 11 1/2 wide. Now, the outdoor faucet hose requires a 1/4 inch NPT or National Pipe Thread industrial fitting. And all the rest of the connections are a 1/2 inch male National Pipe Thread connection. It's got a nice one-year warranty. It is made here in the US. It's been TEI certified, NSF, and CSA certified. So normally folks, this would mount inside the wet bay compartment, and you use a power switch for your water pump for the full panel operations. Now, you can rinse the items off outside, like I mentioned, with the hot and cold water faucet connections as well. So folks, again, if you've never used one of these, again, just follow the instructions, follow the color codes to drain or cipher and winterize the plumbing pipes and fixtures. And it even includes a water heater bypass setting, which would be really nice. So again, lots of different functions. I'll put that image up one more time. Make sure you're getting the right item number for the right color, black or polar white. I'm Steven. Thanks so much for your time, folks. Stay safe out there as always, and have a great day.
