Re: Water heater bypass
I should have mentioned that I had to install those hose clamps because that crimped fitting started leaking a week after buying it. That's all I had on me, and it did fix the leak. Still a little upset that I have to install a bypass line and valve myself, but it is what it is.464Views0likes0CommentsRe: Water heater bypass
I will install a couple 'T' fittings and a valve between the hot and the cold line to make my own bypass. For how little extra effort it would have taken to install a bypass line from the factory when they were putting it together I am really shocked its not there463Views0likes0CommentsWater heater bypass
I just bought a brand new Keystone Bullet Premier 31BHPR travel trailer and I am trying to winterize it already (I know, too soon) However, I don't think it came installed with a bypass line/valve. There is a valve at the bottom of the tank to isolate it, but shouldn't there be a bypass line between the cold and hot lines? With that valve closed, and pulling directly form the antifreeze bottle, I am able to get pink to all my cold taps, but not to my hot taps. (nothing comes out, the pump doesn't even turn on) If I open that valve, then it fills the hot water tank as well, which is wasting about 6 gallons of antifreeze each time and then I can get antifreeze to the hot taps. Am I missing something or did Keystone really not install a water heater bypass on my tank? BTW, I love my 31BHPR!!!!6.9KViews0likes12Comments
