No bypass on hot water tank

[redcloud1]

Does anybody know how to winterize a Windjammer 3008 when there is no bypass that I can see on the hot water tank? I found the bypass for the antifreeze hook up under the bathroom sink. Do I have to install the bypass on the hot water tank?

If you have a bypass it should be on the back side of the water heater. You may have to take off a panel to get to it.

Friends have a Windjammer 3008. There is a panel on the lower right in the entertainment center that he took off to gain access to bypass.

Years ago, we just drained all the lines and the water heater, blew the lines and poured anti freeze in the traps and let it go. Never had frozen pipes either.

If it is a 2015 you have a W/H bypass. Youroo!!

Do you know where it is located? I have looked at the back of the tank and don't see the bypass.

I own a 3008W and mine bypass valve was easy to access by simply removing the two drawers in the end of the kitchen peninsula.

Ok

Found it, you can get to it without having to take the drawers out or any panels off. you can access it from the bottom storage space below the to drawers in the kitchen counter.

X2.. always done it that way and never had a problem

I always pump it(non tox antifreeze) through the system using the demand pump. Then hit the traps. Never know where a low spot will be that the air can't blow out completely.
