Woo Who!

Ok - today was my third day of winterizing my beast (The RV is a 2017 Thor Outlaw 38RE). I tried for 2 days to pour over 15 gallons of antifreeze in the FW tank, then tun the pump waiting for pink in the faucets. Nothing pink, only froth. So, I did a bunch of surfing and read that my RV has a winterization valve. I fabricated a short length of hose with a male end, plugged it into the inlet, put the other end into a bottle of antifreeze, turned on the pump and almost immediately had pink out of the faucets!!!! Voila!

4 gallons later I was done!

I drained and manually put the water heater valves to bypass. What is the function of the water heater bypass valve in this picture? How would I use it? I know that I want antifreeze in the pipes all the way to and past the heater so I can’t bypass all tubing between this valve and the water heater.
