Camco 35983 Quick-Turn Permanent RV Water Heater Bypass Kit

The Camco 35983 Quick-Turn Permanent RV Water Heater Bypass Kit simplifies winterization by allowing you to isolate your water heater from the rest of the freshwater system with a single valve turn. Instead of filling the tank with costly antifreeze, simply engage the bypass to drain the heater completely — saving you time, money, and hassle every season.

Once permanently installed, this patented kit stays connected to the cold water inlet year-round. When it's time to winterize, a single turn of the 3-way shut-off valve routes antifreeze around the water heater rather than through it, reducing antifreeze consumption by 6 to 10 gallons per winterization. The indicator handle provides a clear visual cue of valve position and flow status at all times.

Key Features:

• Single-turn operation — bypass the water heater with just one valve turn
