Low point drain question

[dbledan]

Usually the low point drains show some pex. If enough is showing go to your local HW store and buy sharkbite connectors with the fittings you want. This is a very minor plumbing project. The hardest part will be surfing the various parts for what you want.

I like the idea of valve's inside the trailer as it protects from freezing a bit better and makes them accessible.

I'm not sure who you are responding to here. Who mentioned anything about the fresh water tank filling up?

Yes, I used common ball valves from hardware store. So much easier.

Loose the caos and install ball valves.

From personal experience...you can drain all the faucets, tanks and low point drains until the cows come home, but don't forget the water filter as I did last year. Thought I was A-Ok until I opened up the filter compartment and found the filter and broken-at-the-rim canister sitting right-side up on the floor and full of water. Had to buy a new canister ($45+), ouch. This year, I also drained the little screen filter on the water pump itself. Good luck everybody.
