SECTION 7
PLUMBING
(
If your coach is not equipped with a full-
coach water filtration system, proceed to the
next numbered step.
)
After removing filter, remount the empty
canister onto the filter assembly and continue
the antifreeze fill procedure.
Set Up Winterization Valves
3. Turn Winterization Valve 1 to “Water Heater
Bypass” position to avoid filling water heater
with antifreeze.
.
4. Place handle of Winterization Valve 2 in the
“Winterize” position.
5. Remove and save the protective cap from the
end of the antifreeze siphon tube (which
connects to Winterization Valve 2). Insert the
end of the siphon tube into a pail or other
container with 2 to 3 gallons of non-toxic RV
antifreeze solution.
.
Fill Lines
6. Turn the water pump switch on.
7. Open each hot and cold water faucet handle/
knob in the coach – one at a time each in turn
until antifreeze solution just begins to flow
from the faucet, then close.
Do not forget exterior shower/wash station
knobs (if equipped.)
8. Press the toilet flush pedal and hold until
antifreeze begins flowing into the toilet.
Leave small amount of antifreeze that remains
in the bowl.
When Done Adding RV Antifreeze
9. Turn water pump switch off.
10. Turn the Winterization Valve 2 to “Normal”.
This will stop the flow from the antifreeze
siphon tube and revert the tank line flow to the
pump.
11. Replace the protective cap onto the end of the
antifreeze siphon tube to keep out insects and
debris when not in use.
Drain Water Heater
12. Turn off the Water Heater power switch
before draining the water heater tank to avoid
damage to the heating element.
• Drain the water heater by removing the plug
from the base of the water heater tank,
accessible from the outside of the coach.
(Requires socket and ratchet.)
