Wolf pup 16bhs water heater bypass help!
Hi everyone! Hoping someone can help a newbie. Trying to determine which way the valves on my water heater need to be directed for normal use vs winterized setting. I’ve been getting contradicting answers on line. Pic is how they are currently set. Thanks!!!
Ps sorry for the pic being sideways, not sure how to rotate

They are positioned now for normal use. Turn both 90 degrees for winterization/bypass
Also see post #4 in this thread for your setup.

When you doubt yourself in six months, just remember the handles point to the direction of flow.
I finally remember

The valves are not on/off valves they are diverted valves. Either in use or by-pass. The handles are on line with and tell the direction.

Get some of those manila card-stock tags and draw the position of the valves on it, Summer on one side, Winter on the other. Hang it on the top hot water line with string or zip tie on the back of the water heater. I've done it for every rv I've owned.
