Hot water tank bypass for winterizing


 

Hi guys,
I just to pick your brains. Winterizing my 92 Warrior, I disconnect both lines to the hot water tank and join them together with a brass fitting. Not hard, but not the easiest thing to do. What does everyone else do? I know they sell bypass kits with valves, but I'm not sure how "standard" the plumbing is in these older machines. I could build my own bypass from the hardware store. I just wonder what everybody else does. I don't want to reinvent the wheel.
Thanks!

Hot water heater bypass kits are relatively inexpensive - in the $20-$30 range. They are designed to fit the standard water heaters that most Toyota RVs have. So save yourself a bit of frustration and buy a kit, like the Camco version, and it should install very easily.
