i need help to bypass my heat exchanger for the summer

[adamant]

i think i got it.
cut the IN water line and the OUT water line on the hot water heater (green pex) put tee's in each cut with valves and thats it .right? see pictures below.
i didn't do the install but i am sure i can bypass the h/e in the plenum.
what do you guys think?

i hate to go with the pex fittings because i would have to buy thre crimper. i was thinking about the SharkBite® Push-Fittings.

are they in series? Consider a couple valves and tees so the switch could be made easily from season to season.

Also add a 3 way thermostatic scald guard mixer to the hw tank outlet to keep temperatures in the safe zone.
