Bypass valve location

[S&D Gerard]

Hello crew! I have a 2006 Gulf Stream Sun Voyager model 8377. This isn't my first RV, but I can't for the life of me locate the bypass valve for the water heater. I'm not seeing any access panel inside behind the water heater. Help!

I found mine under the stove. In the pots and pan compartment.

Mine is under rear bunk next to fresh water tank.

Hello if you have a manablock it can be bypassed there # 9 valve will be labeled! Hot off cold fill on! I am assuming you are class a by your post! I have an 05..

My bypass is in outside compartment with water pump and low points= a single handle 2-position valve= NORMAL/BYPASS; you may have different?

Bt5210 has it behind the water heater in a compartment under the wardrobe just right of the exit door facing out. Two valves with a white flex hose between them. There is a nice label explaining the operation. I removed the anode rod to drain the tank. I bought a new one to start the season.

There are 2 valves used to bypass the 5210 water heater. The white hose in the picture is the bypass it connects 2 - 2 way valves both need to be adjusted to bypass the WH.

The 8377 and bt 5210 are not even close to the same in any way. Two different classes all together. I'm pretty sure that question was for class a models.

You are so correct. Just thought it was information someone could use. Who knows maybe one day a big rigger will downsize and need some information on a water heater bypass in a more nimble ride.

Lol yeah I'm sure one day we will down size as you mentioned. The BT's are very popular I noticed for sure. But to small for me personally. But thats what its all about..You have some nice clean work you are doing to yours I noticed. Keep up the good work. I like you have done a lot of work it's been fun to do. Be sure to use it after you put the time into it.
I hope to see more in the future good luck to you!!
