I think you may want to invest in a pressure control device that is used exclusively for the black tank spray.  Your observation that the pressure should not be too high is something that many of us may not have thought about, but should have.  I've never used a pressure control device for the black tank spray, but as I think about your practice, I am realizing that I should have.  There are some pump out fresh water faucets that have some pretty high pressure water that could blow the plumbing apart.  Thanks for sharing your concern.

I have a 2021 180 that has a built in sprayhead to flush the black water tank. It works great, I put the pressure reducer ahead of the separate water hose I use for that and it seems to generate enough pressure. I have not seen anything in the instructions about water pressure. Is it supposed to use less than 40 lbs pressure or does it matter?

Thanks for any information, it could be in the documentation or directions but I missed it.
