Default Flush Valve

Who makes a good "flush valve". I want to tee into the water supply line so I can run the engine on the hose without putting the muffs on the drive. I have seen them with a check so that the water does not go back out the drive, but don't know where to find them. Thanks

You need a large gate valve on the seawater side of your sea-strainer and a ball valve on the flush inlet. put the flush inlet on the other side of the sea-strainer.

You can get these valves from Grainger, McMaster Carr or any good industrial supply.

This company advertises in the local boat magazine called the NorEaster

http://www.marinetechgroup.com/



A little pricy...but looks like a ready to go solution.

Thanks for the response. Sounds like Perco is the way to go.
