Water Heater Bypass Valve

The water heater bypass valve allows you to
bypass the water heater tank when winterizing
the water lines using RV water system anti-
freeze. The valve is located on the underside of
the water lines near the water heater as shown.
Note that the valve connection to the water lines
resembles a 'T'. The valve handle must point
toward the 'foot' of the 'T' to bypass the water
heater.

Bypass Valve is on the bottom side of the water lines near
the water heater. Note that the connection resembles a "T".
The valve must point toward the 'foot' of the "T" to be in
bypass mode.

WASTE DRAINAGE SYSTEM

The drainage system is self-contained and
uses two separate holding tanks to contain the
water until it can be dumped at an appropriate
waste water disposal site. This means you can use
the toilet, sinks and shower even in areas where
utility hookups are not available.
The main holding tank contains the sewage
from the toilet, and waste water from the bath-
room lavatory and shower. It is commonly called
the black water tank. The second holding tank
contains the waste water from the galley sink,
and is commonly called the gray water tank.
