I use a 45 on the water inlet and a 90 on the flusher, both with quick connects. These fittings on that water panel sure are flimsy and those angled fittings take much of the strain off.

I looked at the back side of that water panel considering replacing the plumbing with either 1/2" copper or PVC and decided that would be a project way down on the bottom of my list of projects. There are times that the old Newmar Kountry Aire with all copper plumbing looks good
