Valterra RV Fresh Water - P23503LFVP
- Winterization

When winterizing your RV, don't waste antifreeze by letting it fill up your RV's water heater tank. Instead, use this permanent bypass kit to keep the antifreeze in your RV's water lines. Valves allow fast, easy activation every winter.

- Save up to 6 gallons of antifreeze during winterization
- Permanent installation doesn't require removal each year
- Install valves on tank and connect to both the hose and your RV's water lines
- Turn valves to block antifreeze from entering your tank when prepping for winter, and reopen valves for use in spring
- Lead-free brass valves won't contaminate your water lines
- Thread tape tightly seals connections
Specs:
- Application: 6-gallon water heater tanks
- Hose length: 7"
- Valve dimensions: 2-1/2" long x 1-1/2" wide x 1-1/2" deep
Bypass Your Water Heater
When winterizing your RV, the antifreeze you pump through your RV's water lines might not be going where it needs to go. Without a bypass, up to 6 gallons of antifreeze can be wasted by collecting in your RV's water heater tank instead of moving throughout your pipes. Use this bypass kit to keep antifreeze out of your tank and inside your water lines.
Installation
This kit permanently connects to your RV's water heater tank. Install the 2 bypass valves onto your tank and connect them with the included hose. When you're ready to put your RV into storage, turn the valves to block antifreeze from entering your tank. Then you can pump antifreeze through your water lines without having to worry about it collecting in the water heater tank.
When spring rolls around and you're ready to take your RV out of storage, re-adjust the valves and flush your water lines with clean water.

Speaker 1: Today, we're taking a look at the Valterra RV Water Heater Bypass Kit for six-gallon water heaters.Now, when bypassing the water heater, when winterizing your unit, will save at least six gallons of antifreeze each year. Installation of this kit requires good access to the rear of the water heater. It's a simple two-valve operation. These are made from a durable brass construction, and they provide nice, easy control and operation. It is a permanent installation, and it's a lead-free design.It comes with two valves, comes with the hose, and it comes with some thread-wrap tape. Now this hose from connector to connector measures about seven inches long.
Installation instructions are located on the back of the package. If your water heater is supplied with connection nipples, then you can reuse those when installing this kit.Basically, what you'll need to do is remove the hot and cold water lines from the water heater. This is going to connect to the hot and cold water line connections on the heater, on the water heater. Then, the hose connects the two valves, and then the hot and cold water lines that you disconnected originally, connect into the valves. Then, you can control water flow with each valve.
That's all there is to it.That's going to do it for today's look at the Valterra RV Water Heater Bypass Kit for six-gallon water heaters.

fantastic product very easy to install made my life alot easier since.my old plastic valves were hard to reach and leaked
by: William07/26/2023
Great product and good turnaround. Had to reorder after first item arrived with the valves missing. No questions asked trailer shipped the next day and it arrived quickly.

The product may not be to blame. The install was in a very tight location. I had significant leaks after install. The bypass hose was too long and I had to stage the valves so as to prevent kinking of the bypass hose. The dimensions were probably generic to fit the largest hot water tank out there, but make install on a the smaller tanks a bit of a challenge.

The installation took maybe 15 minutes. The parts were high quality and I would recommend this product to anyone needing to change out their rv hot water tank valves and bypass hose.
Excellent Product!!!
by: Bo10/21/2021
Overall, really easy to install. The hose seemed to be just a little long though and kind of kinked as it bent around the curvature of the 6 gallon tank. Different brands of tanks may be slightly different?

That seems probable. Unfortunately, this is the shortest hose kit we have.
by: Scott05/09/2021
I have a pic so I can now leave an honest review. The by-pass hose that you include for 6 gallon tank is too long. As you can see yours held by my finger in the pic is too long. I had to make a short one as you can see, to fit in the 6 gallon hot water heater. The valves are good quality though.

Works great easy to install.
by: John B10/04/2020
So far so good, haven't winterized yet to know for sure. It does restrict the flow of hot water so you don't get as much output from the sink and shower as expected. Also, it doesn't take much cold to balance the hot to get warm due to the restriction in the hot flow.
by: Lyons,10/27/2018
this kit will isolate the water htr. from water system but if you buy this to winterize your camper you will have to buy an other kit with a hand pump and a filling port .

Have bought two full windshields for our CF MOTOs. Fast shipping, great product and great communications.

See what our Experts say about this Valterra RV Fresh Water
- Is a Gasket Included in Valterra RV Water Heater By-Pass Kit P23503LFVPWhat you see in the photo of the Valterra RV Water Heater By-Pass Kit # P23503LFVP is actually a roll of Teflon thread sealer tape. It does appear to be a thick flat gasket since it is packaged on its side. The 3-way valves use a 1/2-inch female thread that matches the two threaded male ports on each valve.
