Strange Part in a Strange Place
A few days ago our hot water just quit flowing from all faucets in our Itasca Class C motorhome. The cold water flow was just fine and the water pump sounded normal.

Wedged perfectly right in the outlet fitting of the hot water heater - with the flat disc facing me and the stem facing inside - was this part. Do any of you have an idea what this part came from in the motorhome's fresh water system and how it could get inside the hot water tank and wedge itself in it's outlet? I'm totally perplexed over this mystery. That is a little black o-ring in a groove around the edge of the disc:
