Fresh water drain

Ok guys. I need some help. When we picked up the trailer last week the prep guy opened the drains for the fresh water tank and water heater. The large white valve under the trailer. Also a small straight white line with threads on the end and then the two 90° valves to the water heater. Well I decided to test thing out when I got home and started filling up the fresh tank. Big valve closed. Two 90° valves closed. Small straight one is running water out. I crawled under and have no idea how to close the thing. I'm attaching a picture. It is the white line on the far right in the pic. Is it supposed to have a cap or something? Thanks for any help.Click image for larger version

Yep, it is suppose to have a cap.

Or you could change it to another 90 degree valve so the cap doesn't get lost again.

You can drain when you want and never loose the cap!

Open your water heater access door on the outside of your camper and see if they stashed the cap there. That seems to be the universal spot for storing the fresh water drain cap.

Thats where we used to keep our drain caps until we put ball valves everywhere.

Ding. Ed wins the prize. It was stuck in the corner and blended in to the black metal. Of course I was looking for a white cap since the pipe was white.
