Section 8: Plumbing System
Winterize with Air Pressure
This method uses compressed air to blow out any remaining water in the system after ini-
tially draining water lines using drain valves.
Tools required would be an air compressor
and a blowout plug.
1. Water heater power should be OFF (ELECTRIC and GAS
switches). The switches are located inside the RV at Command
Center panel.
2. The water heater bypass valve should be set to NORMAL . Le-
ver pointing to the left as shown.
3. Level the RV and drain the fresh water tank, the tank (storage)
water heater and the hot and cold water lines. Open all low
point drains and the fresh water tank drain. Faucets inside the
RV should be opened to relieve pressure to allow water lines to
drain. Refer to
Draining the Fresh Water System
section.
4. If your RV has a Spray Port on the outside of the trailer, this port should be drained at
this time. Refer to Winterize the Spray Port section for the procedure.
5. Remove the drain plug from the tank (stor-
age) water heater located outside the RV ).
Do not remove the drain plug if the water
heater is hot or under pressure. Release
pressure and let it cool down.
6. Water filter should be removed for winteriz -
ing. See Water Purification System section.
Your RV may have one of two types of fil -
ters:
Full System Canister Filter: Remove the
canister lid, take out the filter and then re-
attach the lid on the empty canister.
Before applying air pressure to the utility center
, the 2 colored valves
(GREEN abd BLUE)
MUST
be set to 45° or damage may occur to the utility
center.
Never apply air pressure to the water system with any of the valves in the
closed position. Air pressure applied to a closed valve, faucet or low point
drain could potentially damage the seals and cause water leaks. If you have
questions, consult your RV dealer. Using RV antifreeze is the preferred meth-
od of winterization.
Recommended air pressure is 30 PSI MAX. Exceeding this pressure may
rupture water line couplings and void your warranty.
If the recreation vehicle is going to be stored in a non-temperature controlled
environment with a risk of temperatures reaching 32°F (0°C) or lower, the
plumbing system must be winterized with RV antifreeze. Repairs due to freez-
ing are not covered under the terms of the
Towable Limited Warranty.
