RV Backflow Valves:
RV backflow valves, also known as check valves, are a crucial component in RV plumbing systems. These valves only allow water to flow in one direction, hence preventing the reversal of water flow which can contaminate the clean water supply in an RV. They are typically installed in the water system to ensure that the water pressure from the city hookup does not force the water from your RV back into the main supply. When water attempts to flow back, the valve closes. These backflow valves are usually made of brass, plastic, or stainless steel and commonly found in the location where the city water inlet and the on-board water pump intersect.
RV By-Pass Valves:
RV by-pass valves are primarily used in the water heater system of an RV. The key purpose of these valves is to bypass the need to fill the water heater tank when winterizing the RV, hence conserving anti-freeze. When you flip the valve, it directs the flow of water away from the water heater and into the rest of your RV's plumbing system. These valves are usually positioned near the water heater for easy access. They are integral to the maintenance and longevity of your RV's water system when it's not in use, particularly during the colder months.
