I don't know if the picture will show so I will describe. I don't know if my 2019 Wildwood has a bypass valve on the hot water heater. There are two valves. One on the cold line and one on...
My heater has a similar set up, but uses one extra valve. My two water in/out valves are closer to entry/exit ports, and my third valve is in the middle of bypass hose. In any case the flow goes with the direction of lever, with lever at 90 degrees to line being shut off.
