Question on winterizing October 18, 2016, 10:32:17 am Reading the Lazy Daze Companion on winterizing I have a question. Almost to the end of the explanation, 3 lines above sub title Odds and Ends, Depress and hold in the center portion of the city water inlet valve to drain any water from that part of the line. I guess maybe it's to early, caffeine deprivation, I am at a lost what this refers to or what to do. Any help and please I am at your mercy for probably something that is so simple, just not seeing it. Thanks John
Re: Question on winterizing Reply #1 – October 18, 2016, 10:39:34 am Hello John. If you go to the outside of the LD and locate the city water connection, then unscrew or remove the plug. If you look inside the connection, you'll see a small plastic fitting that is spring-loaded. Just depress that small plastic fitting with your finger while the water lines are under pressure. This is the check valve which keeps water from exiting that connection. Hope this helps.

Re: Question on winterizing Reply #3 – October 18, 2016, 11:18:26 am I was recently told by Vince at the factory to never depress the city inlet valve when it is under pressure. That will likely result in displacement of the o-ring and then chronic leaking from the check valve.First turn on the hot and cold water faucet inside to relieve pressure.Jim 1 Likes

There is so much to forget.Chris 1 Likes
