Coleman CTU271RB bypass valve

My Coleman CTS196RD has the bypass located on the back of the water heater. I can get to it by raising my jack-knife couch and removing a top cover. Coleman Techs have been great to help. Give them a call if you need more help.

You have to access the backside of WH.......

IF you have a bypass it could be just a 1 valve, a 2 valve or 3 valve system

1 valve set up (a 3 way valve on cold inlet with check valve in nipple of hot outlet----change valve position to bypass)
shown in service mode

2 valve set up ( two 3 way valves.....one on cold inlet & one on hot outlet----change both valve positions to bypass)
shown in bypass mode

3 valve set up (valve on each line cold inlet/hot outlet/bypass line---change valve position on all three to bypass)
could be in service or bypass (depends on what is open/closed

There are also 'modified' systems.
This is a 1 valve modified to a 2 valve (check valve in hot out removed---valve installed)
shown in service mode (3 way valve handle parallel with cold inlet line)

I would contact Coleman or a Coleman Dealer and they can probably tell you very quickly.

No my Manula is general, no locations. My old rig had in the closet, but my new one i dont know I guess it would have help if I give my make and model, I have a Coleman CTU271RB.

Ours is on the top of the tank.
Having said that, I image all manufacturers would be different.
Do you have a manual for your unit, it may show in there
