I decided to build my own flush system.
The photo shows everything but the reducer, not delivered yet.
The Groco 500 has a 3/4" hose outlet. The cap threads measure about 2.75" OD. Actual thread size is 2.5".
I found the 2.5" threaded fitting and reducer bsng to 3/4" at Grainger for about $5.00.
Grainger number 22FM38, 22FM30
The 3/4" nipple and female hose bib are from Home Depot, about $ 4.00.
This setup is for flushing only, not for permanent installation. I use it to backflush the strainer, then flush the engine or ac. If you wanted to fresh water pickle, just close the seacock. I plan to use it on all three of my strainers as I clean them.
A simple system.
