Wasn't there already a set of bypass valves for the hot water heater? What does the new valve do the the factory valves don't do?

Pretty day today but nothing to do and nowhere to go    ...so I decided to install a bypass valve next to the pump under the bed in our 177. It is a little brass "T" with a little gate knob that allows water either to flow into, or pypass the hot water heater. The "T" end has a brass cap on it and the assembly came with a cap and tube for pulling antifreeze into your system. With winter approaching I decided this would be a lot more convenient way of preparing for the freezing temps.

Had to lower the water pump a little in order to allow space for the factory "quick disconnect" assembly and clearance for one of the factory bypass valve handles. I'll get a picture of the final installation and post it later.

....back to the job !!
