I have a '99 270DA that has the optional a/c and heat. I want to install a dock-side flush quick-connection in the bilge in-line between the seacock and the strainer so that I can flush the system dockside instead of only when I'm on the trailer. This was done by the previous owner on my genset. Has anyone done this? Looking for advice on the best fittings to use, what size the existing hose is (so I know what size fittings I need), and any tips on the project. Seems like this could be accomplished with one t-fitting, two ball-valves, and a section of hose. Splice the t-fitting into the line, install one ball-valve between raw water intake and the fitting, one ball-valve between the new hose/quick connect and the fitting, then send the third prong of the fitting to the A/C unit. Then just open the ball-valve you want the source of water to be and close the other. Anyone see a flaw in that?
