Dedicated hose, no regulator. No problems so far.

Never used a regulator on the black tank flush, have been at campgrounds where the spigot pressure was over 100psi. my very experienced 1/2” old garden hose sometimes still bends as the pressure never really builds. IMO, regulator is not required, however as it is usually at the spigot, just change the hoses if you feel so inclined when packing up.

If you open the water spigot at your campsite ( if sewer connection) or, at the dump station and it does not flow at a extremely high volume and pressure you will be fine without a regulator for your tank flush. It is a good practice to us a dedicated flush hose. I would also encourage you to sanitize your water spigot connection at a full hook up camp site since we have seen some campers place their sewer hose up to the spigot to flush it out. Camco and other companies make flush kits which you can add to your grey tanks, don't know why this is not a standard, but it keeps those tanks clean as well.
Camco makes two styles, a fixed spray head and a rotating head, some reviewers advised the rotating spray head came apart in the tank, so when I added them to our grey tanks I utilized the fixed spray head.

Black Tank Rinse
I have never used a pressure reducer on the black tank rinse. How I approached making this process simpler was to put a brass 90 on the water in, and on the black rinse inlet, then a pressure reducer in the drinking water in ( not on the black), then attached a 12 braided stainless hose to each that are connected to a splitter with shut offs. To the bottom of the splitter I used a 6” bib that hangs out of the grommet. That is what I connect my hose to using a quick connect. I leave the side of the splitter going in to the city water connection on all the time. When I need to rinse I just turn the other side of the splitter on. No drips or water splashing around - works great. I could post a pic if anyone is interested.

If you don’t use a regulator I would turn the value on slowly to reduce surge to the plumbing, that feels like it reduces risk

I would also suggest a pressure regulator. I blew my vaccum breaker trying to clean my tank. The one installed by GD is not the highest quality.

I would love to see a pic of your setup. As a new GD owner coming from an Airstream the Nautilus system is like black magic!
Thanks! Pat

Do you use a y connector to connect the dedicated hose to the rinse connector? Or do you just disconnectoneandconnectheother to rinse?
