Joe Gorlaski Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I have two heater hoses running to and from the engine to the hot water heater. The connection to the water heater is cracked and leaks. I never use the water heater and want to know if I can permanently bypass the water heater and what is the best way to do it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Iggy Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I love having hot water to shower and wash dishes. BUT, I would just take the two hoses from the heater and use a coupling to tie the two to make a loop. Some day you may want to reconnect it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Gorlaski Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 Thanks. I just wanted to be sure it would have no effect on cooling the engine. Could I just use a shorter hose and go from point A to Point B? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joe Gorlaski Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 Thanks. Very helpful thought. I'll pickup a connector and get going on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
