Fresh Water Lines
Two lines, generally red for hot and blue for cold, transport water
through out the coach. Valves to direct flow are near city water fill or
pump area. Connector elbows and tees are plastic or copper, and
are held together with compression rings for no leakage.
Low-Point Drains
Low-Point drains are placed on recreational vehicles to
drain water lines, tanks, and water heater to prepare
coach for winterization and sanitizing systems. Drain
may be black cap or valve.
Fresh water supply tanks will have their own separate
drains under the floor and/or frame, with a valve to be
opened to drain.
Plumbing lines also have Low-Point drains located in various areas.
You may find them (2) for hot and cold coming out of storage areas,
outer metal skirt, through under belly covers, control centers, etc.
Water should always drain out to the ground, not into underbelly
cover.
Sanitizing and Filling the Potable Water System
For your safety, you should sanitize your potable water system when
your recreational vehicle is new or when it has been sitting unused
for a period of time such as winter time, and it may have become
contaminated.
Prepare a chlorine solution using 1/4 cup of bleach (5% sodium
hypochlorite solution) to one gallon of water. Prepare one gallon of
this solution for each 15 gallon capacity of the tank. As designed
and constructed, this method will sanitize the plumbing system.
POTABLE WATER ONLY. SANITIZE, FLUSH AND DRAIN
BEFORE USING. SEE INSTRUCTION MANUAL. FAILURE TO
COMPLY COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
