Would this manifold work for FW flushing?

[Robert Vetrano]

I found this on Facebook and it looks like a nice clean solution to flushing my mains, gen and AC. Problem is it’s only got 1/2” ports. Would 1/2” ports allow enough water flow to flush in an engine-off flush setup? (I’ve verified my boat is a candidate for engine off flushing). My existing FW setup goes to my AC and gen, and is bigger hose…..more like 5/8 or 3/4 if I recall.

Rob,
Two teenage daughters out on the boat with you and your wife?? You have my sympathies 🙂
Happy New Year to you and your family!

Robert,
Sorry for the thread drift, but I just couldn’t help myself 🙂

The domestic fresh water system on my boat is all plumbed with 1/2″ nylobraid type tubing – if it’s good enough for my wife and 2 teenage daughters to happily shower I’d reckon it will do you just fine.
