We have a Watts Regulator and the handle that you use to serve or fill is leaking. I check with the company and they dont make or have any parts for this anymore. Anyone have any ideas what I should do?

I am wondering one thing: What does the watts regulator have to do with the leaking vavle? If that is the valve I think it is (Use city water in the park or fill your supply tank from city water inlet) The regulator is a 100% seperate device and has no connection sve the pipe that hooks to the inlet.

The valve, is a simple 3 way valve though the one at the plumbing supply may look different They all work the same 1/2 inch IPT threads are fairly common.

Take the old one with you to the plumbing supply.

The watts part is a manifold that handels all the fresh water.

We cant figure out how to get the handle off? Do I have to take the whole unit to the plumbing supply store?

Wow They put everything in there.. I can not even guess how to remove the T handle, sve to say this, it either pulls off or screws off, There may be a pin.. But I have no idea where to look for it.

I would recommend you find a replacement (not buy one, just find one) then go at it, that way if you end up worse off than you are you can do a worst case.

Just a thought, I know you said it was leaking at the handle but have you tried tightening the connection behind it?
There is a place in Calif that might have the part you need. It's called The Gambler RV Parts. They set up in Quartzsite from Nov till April each year, try googleing them for a phone number, it will be a 760 area code. They bought out a lot of the National inventory. If I find their card, I'll post it.
