GROCO 1-1/2 inch Engine Flush Kit & Adaptor for Marine Cooling Systems

1-1/2" Engine Flush Kit Adaptor

The Concept

A simple quarter-turn quick-release plug can add safety and flexibility to any water system. Add SSC to the top of any seacock to allow instant emergency bilge pumping, or to simplify winterization and cooling system flushing.

In an Emergency

While the connected engine is running, close the seacock and remove the quick-release plug. Excess bilge water will be pumped overboard by the engine's raw water pump. Add GROCO BSA to pump out remote bilge locations.

For Winterization

Close the seacock, remove the quick-release plug, and insert the service adaptor (included). Anti-freeze can be pumped into the cooling system.

For System Flushing

Close the seacock and insert the service adaptor. Dockside water can be used to flush the cooling system with the engine running at idle speed.

Features:

• Bronze service adaptor

Specifications:

• Hose ID (in): 1-1/2"
• Thread NPT: 1-1/2"
• Overall Length: 4.75"

*Add a GROCO Bilge Strainer to pump out remote bilge locations

The GROCO SSC-1500 engine flush kit provides a practical solution for marine cooling system maintenance and emergency bilge management. Featuring a bronze service adaptor with a 1-1/2 inch hose ID and thread size, this kit is designed for durability and reliable performance in demanding marine environments. Its overall length of approximately 4.75 inches makes it versatile for various installation configurations. The quick-release plug allows for safe and fast connection and disconnection, simplifying winterization, system flushing, and emergency operations. By adding the kit to a seacock, boat owners can easily transition between normal operation, winterization, and emergency bilge pumping, reducing downtime and increasing safety. During emergencies, closing the seacock and removing the quick-release plug enables raw water to be pumped overboard by the engine's raw water pump, with an optional GROCO BSA pump available for remote bilge drainage. For winterization, the kit facilitates antifreeze injection into the cooling system by inserting the included service adaptor after closing the seacock. When flushing the cooling system with dockside water, the kit allows engine operation at idle speed while the system is being cleaned, promoting optimal performance and longevity. The robust bronze construction ensures longevity and resistance to corrosion in harsh marine conditions. Additionally, the kit can be complemented with the GROCO Bilge Strainer for remote bilge pumping, enhancing overall vessel safety and maintenance efficiency. Whether for routine system flushing, winterization, or emergency bilge pumping, the GROCO 1-1/2 inch engine flush kit and adaptor deliver a reliable and versatile solution for boat owners seeking to maintain their marine cooling systems effectively.
