Take The Winterizing Pains Away with The Original Quick-Connect Blow Out Plug!

It's about that time!  Summer is over and cold temperatures are upon us.  If you are among the unlucky few that need to put the camper to bed for the season, then you will be winterizing your rig.

A quick snap of the air compressor hose onto the Winterize Manufacturing Blow Out Plug's quick connect, and you are ready to go.

until the lines are empty and dry.
