Camco Pump Converter Winterizing Kit for Boat and RV Water Pumps, 1/2-14 NPT/NPSM Ports

The Camco Pump Converter Winterizing Kit lets you use your boat or RV's existing water pump to circulate antifreeze through the plumbing system, protecting it from freeze damage during the winter months. Instead of relying on a separate hand pump each season, this kit installs permanently in-line with your water pump so winterizing becomes a one-time setup rather than an annual chore.

The kit includes a brass 3-way valve, a 32 inch siphon hose for drawing antifreeze from a jug into the system, Teflon tape (40 inches long) for leak-proof thread seals, and pump adapter fittings that connect the valve into your existing water line. Installation requires only an adjustable wrench, and once in place the valve lets you switch between normal water pump operation and antifreeze circulation as needed each season. The kit installs on water pump ports sized 1/2 inch - 14 NPT or NPSM. The water pump itself is not included.

All fittings are CSA Low Lead Content Certified and comply with California's AB1953 and Vermont Act 193 Low Lead Laws, so the kit is suited for use on drinking water systems. For added efficiency, the kit can be paired with a Camco Water Heater By-Pass Kit (SKUs 35953, 35963, 35983, 37463) to bypass the water heater and reduce the amount of antifreeze needed to protect the system.
