Red Drain Tube

[lcurrie]

Hi,

Where does the water that drains from this tube come from?

And, maybe more importantly, WHY would water be coming from it?

Thanks,

Lynn

Crisis averted, I think. I found the valve. Now that it's closed, no more draining water.

I think that is your hot and cold water line low point drains. They are for releasing all water for winterizing. Do you have two valves inside and above these hoses? I think your hot water drain valve is leaking.

Yup. Red=hot; white=cold.

You're right, it was the hot water drain valve. Somehow we had bumped it and it was open.

Thanks!

You figured that one out... I noticed in your picture that here are a couple of brackets holding the other red line in place (the one in the foreground of the picture) have become disconnected...you should find where those were connected and reconnect them so the line is solidly secured...they do get lose from time to time and need to be checked periodically...they are held up with metal screws...
