Winterizing 36QBOK

Anyone know what would be the order of longest to shortest water lines? I didn't winterize this one last year, the dealer did. I've actually never blown out the water lines before I always just pumped antifreeze through the system so any advice in general would be nice.

not really to important but start with outdoor kitchen and rear bath and work up to front.
Remember to remove/drain/replace and possibly drain again the water filter underneath.
Also do not forget to do your laundry lines even if you do not have washing machine. and outdoor shower

Yep like 5 hole, i start at the rear and work forward.
I drain my lines threw the low point drains and drain the hot water tank, blow as much as i can out of the tank with an air blower.
Then i hook up a regulated air to water line hook up and blow out the hoses and all the lines.
I simplified mine some by deleting the house water filter and by capping my washing machine lines where they t off.
After that i pour 6 gallons of antifreeze in my 6 gallon bucket and start running antifreeze out of every faucet till the pink flows strong. (Of course after closing the water heater lever off).
Then i pour a little more pink juice down the drains.
Takes a little more than an hour (give or take) doing it by yourself but its not bad.
Good luck!

Don't forget the black tank sprayer if you have one!

Yep. I usually blow it out too, but it really is un- necessary since it should drain its self, (if it was installed correctly) but better safe than sorry!

OMG, I would have never thought of the washing machine hookup. Thanks for that and the rest of the responses as well!

Our jobs are not mobile and less than 5yrs left to retirement. Add is a 15yr old ensconced in school and activities and the anchors of life holds us back from setting sale.
