PLUMBING
Heated Fresh Water Lines
Heated fresh water lines are typically used on floorplans
with bath fixtures or a refrigerator containing an ice
maker or water dispenser located in a slideout. Heated
water lines are used to connect the plumbing from
the basement area to the refrigerator where the water
lines are exposed under the slideout. The 12 volt power
to the heated water line is usually fused in the cord
compartment fuse panel in diesel coaches and on the
firewall fuse panel on gas coaches.
Hot and Cold Low Point Drains
Low point drains are normally located in the water
compartment and are marked “Low Point Drains.” Some
valves are mounted in the water control panel and others
are placed close to the water compartment and marked
with a sticker nearby. Typically the coach has one hot
water low point drain and one cold water low point drain,
which are used to empty the water lines. Open the valves
to relieve water pressure and drain the water lines. Close
the valves for normal operation of the pressurized water
system.
LOW POINT DRAIN CONFIGURATION
EXAMPLES
On coaches equipped with tank rinse low point drain(s),
turning the tank rinse drain valve to the “open” position
will remove pressure and drain the tank rinse line. When
finished using the tank rinse, it is recommended to turn
o ff the water supply to the tank rinse connection. Open
the valve, and drain o ff the pressure in the line before
disconnecting the water hose.
Fresh Water Lines To The
Kitchen
The hot and cold plumbing lines connecting slideout-
installed components, such as the kitchen sink and other
optional equipment utilizing the coach water supply, are
typically hard-plumbed within the slideout.
To ensure flexibility, a braided hose connects the rigid
plumbing from within the slideout to the rest of the
plumbing in the coach. This hose easily moves with the
slideout as it extends and retracts. The plumbing lines are
normally tied to the flexible drain pipe and extend and
retract smoothly as the slideout travels.
Preventing and Repairing
Plumbing Leaks
Vibration and flexing during traveling can cause pipes and
fittings to work loose. Follow this checklist to prevent or
repair any plumbing leaks:
•
Check all of the plumbing connections for leaks on a
yearly basis.
•
If the water pump runs when all faucets are turned o ff ,
check for a leak.
•
Be sure the drain valves are closed.
•
Tighten any loose faucet connections with a wrench.
•
Disconnect the leaking connections completely, and
check for mineral deposits or foreign material on the
sealing surfaces. Clean the surfaces thoroughly, and
reinstall the fitting.
•
Take the coach to an authorized service center for
repairs if the system continues to leak.
