jackson said:Here is a pic of the a/c strainer cap I just got back from the machine shop. I just plan to use this for winterizing and flushing. The cap was drilled and threaded so the hose fitting can be removed.
Jackson - thanks for sharing....my Groco cap is made out of nylon or polycarbonate material, but I should be able to drill and tap a pipe thread into one for winterizing purposes.
This really looks like a time and skinned knuckle saver!
Frank - Good point about pipe threads...
Steve - Do you use an anti-seize paste with the bronze caps?
I made one using a new bronze cap and a bronze 3/4" tru-hull fitting with a ball valve and hose adaptor. I did not have to tap the cap.
The AC pump requires head to work, so it won't suck anti-freeze from a container.
My process has been to pull the hose from the sea cock hose barb, raise it to point up, then jam a funnel into the end. I then fill the funnel w/ anti-freeze w/ the pump running.
