Dear Residents,  

 

When opening the rear hose bib water line, please do not leave the mechanical room until you hear that the water flow into the hose bib pipe has stopped. This should occur within several seconds of opening the feed valve in your mechanical room. Immediately close the water valve if you continue to hear water flowing. This will prevent significant damage to your home.

 

Refer to below for specific instructions on opening the water line for the rear hos bib. 

 

Note: The following steps are typical and may not reflect the exact configuration in your unit.  

 

Steps for winterizing your pipes follows:  

1 - Turn off the water valve in your mechanical room. (It's the pipe that goes straight down through the floor). It should be labeled with a tag and has a lever type valve. When lever is perpendicular to the pipe, it is off.

 

2 - Go outside to the outside hose bib and open the valve, a little water should come out and stop almost immediately. Leave this valve "open" for the entire winter months. If the water keeps running, you have closed the wrong valve.

 

3 - Go back to the valve that was turned off in your mechanical room. Right below it is an identical hose bib that looks like the outside hose bib. It will look like a bib that you could hook up a hose to. (in your unit it may just be a bleeder cap located under the shut off valve) Just open it slowly, almost no water should come out. Leave it open for ten minutes. If possible, use an air compressor to blow out through the pipe. This will insure that all water is removed. Then close the mechanical room hose bib. (or bleeder cap) 

 

Steps to open hose bib in the spring:  

1 – Close outside hose bib.

2- Ensure that the bleeder hose bib or bleeder cap in the mechanical room is CLOSED.

3 -Slowly open water valve in the mechanical room. Within a few seconds, water should stop flowing into the pipe. Immediately re-shut the valve if water flow does not stop within a few seconds because the pipe was probably damaged. Damaged pipe will need to be repaired before it can be re-used.  

 

Thank you for your cooperation,
