Hot water tank

[rick317]

Is anyone familiar with this system? There are 2 drains at the bottom and 2 places it goes into the wall. Trying to figure out how to drain/bypass hot water tank and how the hot water tank fills. Thank in advance. Sorry for the sideways pic. Cant seem to get it straightened out.

Barring a specific response or finding a schematic, I'd probably take a run at it this way: Toss a bunch of towels in there. Close all those fittings. Hook up a water hose. Turn on the water very low. Crack a fitting until you find the one with positive pressure behind it. Everything should sort itself out from there.

When I want to drain my water heater, I remove the anode rod from the tank. The valves that you posted look to me like the low point drains that will drain the fresh water tank and also directs water to the hot water heater, but of course that is a guess on my part.

My coach is a 2001 Rexhall Anthem with a Cummins ISB and Allison 5 speed. It also hosted on a Spartan chassis, so since I am not sure what you have, take this with a good shot of your favorite adult beverage and a grain of salt, then throw the salt away!

LOL Thanks. This is a 2001 rose air. The pic is a bypass I think, just can't figure out how it works. The low point drains for the fresh water are on the other side of the rv. These drains( to the right in the pic) maybe for the hot water tank? Thanks again
