Water Bay Valve Position

Can someone please help me determine where my valves should be positioned for normal usage. I was attempting to winterize my Travel Supreme 38 DS04 and didn’t think to take a picture of the valve positions before I started to mess with them. Even better, can someone tell me what each valve does and what position they should be in when performing a task. I’m so glad I’ve found this site because I’ve gained so much knowledge from the good folks on this site that I know someone out there has the answers. Thanks to all in advance for your help. See attached photo.

#1, #2, and #3 should all be pointing up for normal usage. Mine are sensitive to be positioned exactly or they will slowly drip out the drains.

Horizontal for all of them allows water to drain. I'll check the function of each line tomorrow when I get to my coach.

Water Bay Valve Position

Thanks Robert. I was hoping to hear from you as you have the same exact MH as I do and have a wealth of knowledge about these coaches. This is my first MH purchase I my DW & I absolutely love her. After reading all the posts on this site I feel even more grateful that we’ve made the right decision to purchase a Travel Supreme. I appreciate the feedback and look forward to hearing from you again. Jeff

As Robert pointed out, the position is critical to ensure they are fully closed. # 1 and #2 are the hot and cold water low point drains. A good way to recognize the difference is the hot water tubing has red markings and the cold water tubing has black markings from the manufacturer (at least it is on my rig). Note on #3 there are two valves, the lower one is the fresh water tank drain and the upper valve is to align the flow from the fresh water tank to the flexible tube for winterizing the system with the pink stuff. Good luck.

Jeff, I was hoping Lou would chime in here.
My knowledge of these things is a drop in the bucket compared to his!

Everyone nailed it. If you are winterizing....make sure your ice cuber line doesn't carry water in a low point. My cuber line runs all the way across behind the bay. you can see and access the area from the bay door. I ended up adding a bypass by the water heater as the back pressure valve doesn't hold when winterizing. works great.

Tank 'FILL' valve is OPEN so pump is round-robin (sucking from tank then discharging back to tank)


Close/swap position on 'Fill'

The handle is removable from the valve stem and can be repositioned as you wish. Travel Supreme installed them to be off when pointing up/down. Your way makes more sense, to me at least.

The TANK FILL/CITY WATER handle does point in the direction of flow!
