Low point drain

We have a new to us 2021 4001 LK , first time out. Hooked water up and set panel to city water and water comes out of the cold low point drain. How do we close them? No shut off on the line and both lines are very short and cut at an angle. Also when set panel to dry camping water comes out of the cold low point drain. Should there be shut off on the low point? TIA

The low point shut off valve should be in the water bay at the bottom. That was the location on our 2015 38RL

Thanks for your reply, don't see any shut off switches.
Here's a picture of my wet bay.

The low point drains on MY 2020 are just capped...

When I want to drain, I unscrew the cap.... that is until I changed them over to ball valves...

IF you for some reason only have straight tubes, go get a ball valve and hose clamp from Home Depot or Lowes....

Thanks for reply. I've done valves on my TT before but this is the first time with a wet bay. Wasn't sure if by turning the 4 colored switches to the city water position would close the low point drain. The blue and red lines underneath are about 2 inches long and no valve. I could add more lines and valve but wasn't sure if something was wrong behind the panel.

nope, nothing wrong, other than them NOT adding caps for those drains.... get 2 of those ball valves and call it a day!.. Much easier and better than any valve/cap you would get stock..
And by the way, If you get those ball valves, you can add them onto the existing line coming out... as long as you have enough line to cover the barbs and use a good stainless hose clamp...

They are in the large storage bay at the bottom of the red/blue water manifold!! This device allows you to turn on/off all lines in the RV independently, and the very bottom valves are your low point drain vailves. I also have a 2020 4001LK...

My 2017 just had a cap. If no cap just put a new one on or install a valve.
