Section 8: Plumbing System
Your RV may contain either a tank type (storage) water heater or a tankless style. Make sure
you know which type you have in your RV. They are winterized differently and allowing
antifreeze in the wrong type will damage it.
A tankless type water heater requires antifreeze in the water heater lines. Do NOT
bypass tankless water heater lines.
The preferred method to winterize your recreation vehicle is by using RV antifreeze in
the plumbing system.
Air Pressure Method
This method utilizes a blowout plug, an air compressor and an air hose to remove excess
water out of the water lines.
1.
Water heater power should be OFF (both ELECTRIC and GAS switches).
2. Set water heater bypass valves to
BYPASS
. Refer to the appropriat e water heater
bypass
diagram for your model.
3.
There are two valves, a fresh water tank shutoff and a siphon valve, located next to the
water pump (
Fig 2
). Both valves should be turned OFF.
4. I
n Fig 2, the tank shutoff is OFF, and the siphon valve is ON.
5. Level the RV and drain the fresh water tank, water
heater and hot and cold water lines. Open all low
point drains and fresh water tank drain. Faucets
inside the RV need to be opened also to relieve
pressure and allow lines to drain. Refer to
Drain
-
ing the Fresh Water System section.
6. Remove the drain plug from the water heater (refer
to
Fig. 3
arrow).
NOTE: The tank type (storage) water heater must be drained to
prevent damage from freezing. It is recommended the tank type (stor -
age) water heater be drained and bypassed during the winterization
process particularly if introducing RV antifreeze into the plumbing
system. Do not drain the water heater while it is hot or un-
der pressure! Antifreeze should be kept out of a tank type (storage)
water heater.
NOTE: Appliances (refrigerator, dishwasher or clothes washer)
must be winterized. Refer to the appliance owner’s manual for
possible additional information or contact your Dealer or Customer
Service for assistance.
