Where to Install a Valterra Check Valve for RV Fresh Water Systems on a RV Water Heater  

Updated 05/16/2022 | Published 05/15/2022

Question:

Should the check valve be installed in both the cold inlet and the hot outlet of my water heater?

0

Expert Reply:

You should only need the Valterra Check Valve for RV Fresh Water Systems # P23415LFVP at the cold inlet of your water heater. Typically you will have a total of three fresh water check valves; one at the cold inlet to the water heater, one at the city water inlet and one located at the outlet of the water pump.
