Removal of Rear Water Heater

[Adeybruce]

Hi, thinking of removing the rear heater under the bed in the back. I've got a Propex under there anyway, and the thing takes up too much space. Whilst the electrics can unplug easily enough, I'm presuming I can't do the same with the coolant plumbing. Any know when I need to realign the plumbing to cut the heater out of the system? Cheers

Just blank the ends off, or connect them directly together.
you must have missed this when searching the club wiki

Thanks, you're right I did not see that. Really useful to understand the way the coolant flows. Is there an easy answer to blanking them off?

find something solid that fits in the hose and hose clip it.

I used a piece of stainless pipe that I had lying about, been okay for about 6 years.

i connected the two ends together on mine, its fine but the area under the seat gets REALLY hot now. Now have some straight couplings which i'll use to remove the T to the heater under the van, no rush at the moment as its winter.

Those Ts are quite sought after.

What's the inside diameter of those T's?

I just bought some 1/2" spigot couplings, looks about right. I'll wait for confirmation on that now before removing mine!

I used standard 15mm plumbing fittings about 9 years ago.
