A proposed design using multiple ball valves linked together to try to attempt to make a solar water heater easier to operate. A metal bar links multiple valves together to make the draining of the collectors for frost protection easy. With some solar water heaters the collectors must be drained in the winter or when freezing conditions are expected. Otherwise, ice forms inside the waterways, causing them to burst. This is an idea trying to fix that problem, although depending on the number of valves, it might be physically difficult to move the bar!
