Going to be gone Jan - March from home is southern WI. Have people coming in to water plants and check on things.
I have a hot/cold line to kitchen - only lines I'm concerned re freezing. I have located these lines at their source - where they exit room with water heater and etc. and head towards kitchen.
--
Is it possible / practical to install shutoff valves at the source and clear water out these lines? Then I can still have water to rest of house.
--
BTW, these two lines have a 90 degree turn with a 'special fitting' I have not seen before - they appear to have a hex nut on them I attached a file - picture of this fitting.
--
Does the above make sense? Also I have a septic - any precautions I can take with this - like having it pumped out before we leave?
Thanks.
