> 24 hourTotally an easy way to winterize the water lines in your camper. Its super small so it fits easily in the toolbox so you can lose it and but another next year. Deducted a star because the 3 pieces its made from arent Teflon taped together. Add your own. 1. Drain the lines out the bottom of your camper. 2. Drain the water heater by pulling the anode. Replace it when done. 3. Check that your air system is set to 40psi or less. Install this into the water inlet. 4. From there run each cold water faucet until it only flows air. Then do the hot water faucets. 5. Run the potty and the showerheads inside 6. Run outdoor shower. 7. Check them all again and then disconnect the fresh water inlet. 8. Open some faucets and then pull anode on HWH again. 9. Not a bad idea to blow out the black wash system if you have one. 10. Antifreeze in the sinks for pea traps, potty for the seal and bath tub. Add some to each gray tank and your black too. 11. Dont forget to drain the fresh water tank too.

> 24 hourThis makes winterizing your RV a one man operation. I do recommend that you turn your compressor pressure down to 50 psi or less to protect your RV plumbing.

> 24 hourMy adapter arrived with teh three segments loose. I had to tighten them up. Youll need a 1, 5/8 and 9/16 wrench to do this. Vendor should do this before it ships. Otherwise it worked great. Go for it.

> 24 hourThis competitively priced blowout adapter does exactly what it is designed to do: allows you to easily connect an air compressor (via a standard male quick connect) to the garden hose fitting of (in my case) an RV to winterize by using the compressed air to blow the standing water out of the water lines, thus protecting them from freezing and bursting. Pros: The adapter is constructed of quality brass materials. The male quick connect fitting fits my female fitting without issue. The quarter-turn valve handle clears the female quick connect fitting. Cons: My only complaint is that the male quick connect fitting and the GHT fitting should have either had thread sealer applied, or teflon tape should have been used, as the fittings were loose and leaked air. That was easy enough to fix, but I should not have had to. Not enough of an issue to deduct a star, but something I feel the manufacturer should address. If you dont need / want the quarter-turn valve, you can find blow-out adapters that are smaller and lighter for a few bucks less on Amazon, but the quarter-turn valve does provide some additional convenience.

> 24 hourMake sure you tape the connections. Other than that it’s perfect.

> 24 hourWorked as it should. It’s great to not have to use a weird “drinking safe” antifreeze in the lines of the rv this year. Or vodka in the lines. I’m not fond of flushing the lines for a half hour at the start of camping season to get them “clean”.
