When winterizing your RV, don't waste antifreeze by letting it fill up your RV's water heater tank. Instead, use this permanent bypass kit to keep the antifreeze in your RV's water lines. Valve allows fast, easy activation every winter.
Features:
Specs:
When winterizing your RV, the antifreeze you pump through your RV's water lines might not be going where it needs to go. Without a bypass, up to 10 gallons of antifreeze can be wasted by collecting in your RV's water heater tank instead of moving throughout your pipes. Use this bypass kit to keep antifreeze out of your tank and inside your water lines.
This kit permanently connects to your RV's water heater tank. Install the bypass valve and backflow preventer onto your tank and connect them with the included hose. When you're ready to put your RV into storage, turn the bypass valve to block antifreeze from entering your tank. Then you can pump antifreeze through your water lines without having to worry about it collecting in the water heater tank.
When spring rolls around and you're ready to take your RV out of storage, re-adjust the valve and flush your water lines with clean water.

Works as intended
Easy to install,does the job.
Delivered in very fast time
Would order from them again anytime
Makes bypassing WH a breeze.
Works great easy to install.
My product was exactly what I wanted-didn't take too long to get it to me! Very satisfied.
Works like it should, easy to hook up
So far so good, haven't winterized yet to know for sure. It does restrict the flow of hot water so you don't get as much output from the sink and shower as expected. Also, it doesn't take much cold to balance the hot to get warm due to the restriction in the hot flow.
Glad I found this for my motorhome. Th anks
great people to deal with had the item quick . but the hose supplied with the valves is cheap junk but i really need the valves bought a braided hose at hardware store problem solved
Great product and good turnaround. Had to reorder after first item arrived with the valves missing. No questions asked trailer shipped the next day and it arrived quickly.
fantastic product very easy to install made my life alot easier since.my old plastic valves were hard to reach and leaked
Have bought two full windshields for our CF MOTOs. Fast shipping, great product and great communications.
Thanks Wanda
this kit will isolate the water htr. from water system but if you buy this to winterize your camper you will have to buy an other kit with a hand pump and a filling port .
Great replacement for existing stuck valves and old hose.
The product may not be to blame. The install was in a very tight location. I had significant leaks after install. The bypass hose was too long and I had to stage the valves so as to prevent kinking of the bypass hose. The dimensions were probably generic to fit the largest hot water tank out there, but make install on a the smaller tanks a bit of a challenge.
This one of several purchases I have made it etrailer. The most impressive aspect about etrailer is their knowledge and willingness to help. Access to support is immediate. Great place to shop.
I have a pic so I can now leave an honest review. The by-pass hose that you include for 6 gallon tank is too long. As you can see yours held by my finger in the pic is too long. I had to make a short one as you can see, to fit in the 6 gallon hot water heater. The valves are good quality though.
Overall, really easy to install. The hose seemed to be just a little long though and kind of kinked as it bent around the curvature of the 6 gallon tank. Different brands of tanks may be slightly different?
One of my valves handles came off due to Allen screw was loose. They are not as high quality as I was hoping. Bypass hose is so short you have to have the two diverting ports facing each other. I didn’t even use it. Had to buy a longer higher quality hose from Lowe’s. Bypass hose ends didn’t have washers, just plastic V ends. I would not purchase this kit again.
The installation took maybe 15 minutes. The parts were high quality and I would recommend this product to anyone needing to change out their rv hot water tank valves and bypass hose.
Excellent Product!!!
Hose is too long for a 6 gal water heater. Had to buy a different hose & re plumb.
Nice sturdy, brass connections, adds to a secure and proper connection.
Kit can be made to work but as a kit it is useless. The male and fems le ends are incorrect and need additional adapters to configure to typical RV set up. The bypass tube is too short for the standard distance (which is specified in the kit by the way) and needed to be heated and stretched to fit. If you get extra parts and can stretch the hise then it will work but the why buy the kit that neither fits nor has required parts.
Will know better when installed, received squeezed into package. Hoping the fitting up against the bend is okay.
