If all the plumbing was sloped towards the low point with absolutely no sags, then maybe it would work. But RV's are built any which way and you can't count on draining properly.
That is what I was thinking, so I was wondering what is the point of having them there in the first place.
Because W/O the Low Point Drains HOW would you get the water out of the Hot/Cold water lines???
Open the Low point Drains.....then with an adapter connected to City water inlet you can BLOW air thru the Lines and remove majority of water in the system
Course there is the issue of the water pump.
RV Anti-freeze pumped thru the Cold & Hot Systems (out faucets/showers/toilet AND Low Point drains you get rid of the water and protect with anti-freeze
W/O Low Point Drains that would be hard to accomplish.
Course...one doesn't have to use them
