That works if you use the dry method (Blow the lines out with air, Use PINK only in drains and tolets, no Pink in the fresh system.
Which by the way is how I suggest you do it.
If you do it the way you suggest you may end up with pink stuff in the heater, this wont' damage anything, but you will have fun come spring getting rid of it, Multiple flushes.

Well it is done! Drained, winterized and valves back to "use" position so all I have to do is flush everything, probably in Jan. because the DW is talking about a trip to FL then.
The operation did not go all that well. After running the slide out so the drawer will open with just enough room to remove the two drawers, things went downhill. Taking out the top drawer it pulled out of the RH track first, my grip slipped and it fell twisting the LH track apart and fell on floor spilling everything. By now I have the sticky grease from the tracks on my hands so I don't want to touch any of the clothes so remove the bottom drawer and turn up side down on bed. This way I won't get any grease on anything else.
Wash hands, tell DW it's time for her to come out and open and close faucets while I mess with the bottles of pink stuff. Before that happens I have to explaign why I dumped the clothes out on the bed. The rest actually went fine except the half hour it took to figure how to pop the center track with two ball bearing strips back between the inner and outer track. Jim.

Why not just leave the drawer and panel out till spring, since you are not using RV. As you have to stand on your head twice, once to bypass and once to return to use. What is the difference if you stand on your head the second time in the sprig?
That way I will be easier to flush system in spring.

You may get a little pink in the WH by reopening the valves. The bigger issue is flushing the pink out in the Spring, without having the WH bypassed.

I thought about this and it would still be easier than messing with the valves twice. Jim.

If you can drain all the water and then can blow the lines with air to remove any residual water in low slung areas, you can put your WH drain plug back in and set the valves for normal use.
