Fresh Water Drain Caps

[NoodlesWIU]

Anyone know where I can pick up spare drain caps for the fresh water tank / low point drains for hot and cold water. I've had two close calls now in the last year where I almost forgot/lost the fresh water cap after draining the last of my tank before leaving a site for the weekend. I'd rather have a couple spare for the future, as it is inevitable I will lose one some day. It's one of those 89 cent parts that could derail a day of camping. But a quick trip down the plumbing isle the next time I'm at the hardware store could prevent that.

I'm not sure what more specifically I should be looking for, or size.

Sincerely,
-Tim

Take one off and bring it with you to a trailer place that has parts...they will have some.

"PEX" plumbing. Get at local "'Big Box'" store. Valves work just as well . . .

Any hardware store should have a cap, or get a shut off for a 1/2" pex. I think it's 1/2"

I installed shut off valves on ours, easy and works great.

Shutoff valves are the way to go.

The valves won't be 89 cents, but you won't leave them behind.
