With all our faucets open, we'll connect our standard coupler, giving it a tug to make sure it's secure, and at this point is when you would apply your air pressure. We're not going to be doing it in this application because the RV has already been winterized, but you want to start with very low pressure from your oil-less air compressor and work up until you've got all of the water out of the lines. After completely blowing out our water lines, we'll remove our hose and we can continue with our standard winterization process at this point using this valve or if you're done, simply remove the plug, replace your cap and you're all done.
