LO-POINT DRAINS:

Water storage tanks and water heaters have there own

drains as previously mentioned. For line plumbing system these
drains are placed at the lowest area of water line to release liquids.
By locating 2 short water lines below coaches, usually inches apart,
the release valves will be in compartment above.

Some models may have the outside shower assembly

placed below floor level and used as the “lo-point” drain.

DO NOT use Ethylene Glycol (automotive antifreeze) or Methanol
(windshield washer antifreeze) in your fresh water system because they are
harmful and may be fatal if swallowed!
