Yukon 9 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Anyone had to replace the shutoff bypass valve ?, looks tight to get to. And no antifreeze pressure to the water lines, is that a issue? Link to post Share on other sites
Moderators Overland 1,622 Posted November 28, 2020 Moderators Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) I replaced mine. My bypass used screw connectors so I just unscrewed the whole bypass circuit and made a replacement to match. It’s the piece on the bottom left here - Edited November 28, 2020 by Overland 1 Snowball • The world's only spherical Ollie Link to post Share on other sites

Moderators Overland 1,622 Posted November 28, 2020 Moderators Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) Parts of it. All brass fittings and stainless crimps. And also a better quality PEX except for a few bits I reused. I tried as best I could to make it modular so that sections could be pulled out easily to repair. It’s so difficult in places to maneuver a crimper, pipe, arms, etc. inside the hull. Everything stayed tight though on our recent trip, even with some good bumping around. Feels so much more solid, though it’s definitely an overkill project and one that I’d never have done had it not been one of those ‘if I’m doing this, then I may as well do that’ sort of things. Nor would I have done it if I’d actually bothered to count all the friggin fittings and crimps ahead of time.

Plenty of anti freeze everywhere, the filter is out of the Truma. Nor sure why I would replace it unless it just really lets loose. RB Cindy, Russell and "Harley dog" .
