Hot Water Heater Bypass
I have had a 3 valve system and a one valve system but I have never had a two valve system. I am beginning the process of winterizing and want to bypass the hot water heater and am a little perplexed...

The bottom is a two way valve, it either lets through straight or shuts off straight and sends it the other way like it should. The top valve is an on/off valve only. If you send water upward with the bottom valve, you want to make sure the top valve is shut off.
Once you have them set to go up on the bottom, and not go into the HWT on the top, you will send cold water to all your taps, both hot and cold. HWT will be bypassed.
Why, it appears that the hot water outlet a check valve on it the same as used on a single valve bypass. The only plus to this setup is you could replace the check valve or
hot water tank without shutting off water to the trailer.
