Just purchased a new fr3 after owning a class c. I am about to de winterize and I was wondering how to bypass the hot water heater when purging the lines. It seems from my previous post that all my valves are open.
Also any advice on correctly doing this process would be appreciated.

From this Pic. they are all turned for "Use"! If you want to" Purge Pink" turn all valves the other way! Then Purge! Youroo!!
Just for practice,remove your drain plug from your W/H to see what if anything is in there! I dont know what MFG W/H is installed but you can Post and Someone will tell you what tools you will need to perform this Basic/Maintence duty! Youroo!!
Yeah and I'm sure I paid for those metal knobs. Lol
When I picked the rig up at the dealer, the anode rod was out and the dealer set my knobs to "use" from what I can recall. Wouldn't the anode rod have to be in if they by any chance filled the water heater w antifreeze?
Putting A/F in the water heater is not a great idea, six gallons more or less and it does no good.

Put anode rod back in with Teflon tape to seal it then turn on the nearest hot water faucet. Connect to water source and turn on. You will get air until tank fills. When water comes out tank is full and good to go. Then do same with cold water. A little air will come out.

At 6AM you didn't say the A Rod was laying out! You said you wanted to Purge the Lines! Dribbled Info makes for WAG's! Youroo!!
You actually don't want to fill the water heater with pink stuff. That's what the knobs are for. You bypass the water heater and remove the anode for winter. You use the pipe in the compartment to suck up the pink stuff with the pump once you have bypassed the heater.
If the anode was out then it (the heater) was already drained. The photo attached shows normal summer use knob positions.
Youroo!!
Youroo!!
