How to winterize blow out adapter for rv?
- 1. Empty Waste Holding Tanks: Empty and flush your black and gray tanks. Leave the gray vale open when finished, then disconnect the city water supply and turn off RV’s water pump.
- 2. Drain Hot Water Tank: Open the pressure relief valve on RV’s water heater and remove the drain plug or anode rod. Use tank rinser flush RV’s water heater. Depending on the condition of the anode rod, this may be a good time to replace it.
- 3. Drain Freshwater tank: Open freshwater tank’s drain and allow it to empty, this may take a while depending on how much fresh water is in the tank.
- 4. Drain Low-Point Drains: Turn water heater bypass valves to the bypass position, open both low-point drains underneath the RV, these may be a bit tough to reach. Turn on each faucet in the RV set to “warm” to allow all water to easily run out through the low point drains.
- 5. Clear Water Line: When water is no longer running out of the low-point drains, close the valves and turn off all the faucets in RV. Turning on one faucet at a time set to “warm” to open both hot and cold lines at the same time, nlow compressed air through the system one or two times until the water clears out of the faucet.
- 6. Blow Out Water of the Outdoor Shower: Don’t forget the out door shower, just use blow the remaining water out of it with the air compressor.

Used this the first time and loved it. Nice that it comes with a couple adapters also. Had made one myself, but this works much better. And it came with a bag to keep it all together.

This blowout adapter works just as expected; I appreciate the shut off valve on the hose. I deducted a star for the packaging, as it was a bit odd. The product came with all that shows in the image inside a ziplock bag, that was inside a velveteen drawstring pouch (really?!), inside another ziplock bag. Good for a chuckle but seems a waste of materials for a valve that will go inside my RV tool bag. One ziplock bag would have done the job just fine.

In the past I would have to go inside the trailer with my air compressor hose and one at a time open each value and then trigger feed the air and repeat . Now I hook this tool on the outside to the water heater drain. Leave the compressor going and just open each water valve at a time in the trailer. Done in minutes. I did have to buy a plastic reducer to fit the water tank. Under $3.00.

Tool Buyer –
The line and some of the adapters (I didn’t test them all) are OK but here are my issues:1. The shipment packaging is terrible. The product was in a thin felt bag, which was in a clear plastic bag and that was in another clear plastic bag. No bubble wrap or protective packaging. So basically the metal and parts were banging around during shipping.2. At least two of the female adapter fittings had 1/18-1/4″ brass burrs in the threads left over from manufacturing. I had to deburr them.I still gave it 3 stars as the price was competitively low. I haven’t performance tested them but if I run into issues when I do, I’ll lower my rating for this review.
