It gives boaters a quick-access point for three common tasks: emergency bilge pumping, engine cooling system flushing, and winterization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor emergency use, close the seacock and remove the quick release plug while the engine is running; excess bilge water is then pumped overboard through the engine's raw water pump (a Groco BSA can be added to pump out remote bilge locations). For winterization, close the seacock, remove the quick release plug, and insert the included service adapter so antifreeze can be pumped into the cooling system. For system flushing, close the seacock and insert the service adapter so dockside water can flush the cooling system with the engine running at idle speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe adapter has a 1-1\/2 inch hose ID and a 1-1\/2 inch NPT thread, with an overall length of 4.75 inches, and includes the service adapter plug as part of the kit. It is designed to work with any 1-1\/2 inch thru-hull seacock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Groco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e SSC-1500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHose ID:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-1\/2 inch NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.9 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Components:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engine Flush Kit, Service Adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eInstalls on top of any 1-1\/2 inch thru-hull seacock\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eNo OEM cross-reference numbers are listed for this part\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Groco SSC-1500 used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Groco SSC-1500 Engine Flush Service Adapter installs on top of any 1-1\/2 inch seacock to allow emergency bilge pumping, cooling system flushing, and winterization without disconnecting the raw water plumbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size seacock does the SSC-1500 fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SSC-1500 has a 1-1\/2 inch hose ID and a 1-1\/2 inch NPT thread, and it is designed to install on any 1-1\/2 inch thru-hull seacock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is the SSC-1500 adapter?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Groco SSC-1500 has an overall length of 4.75 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the SSC-1500 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SSC-1500 weighs 1.9 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I use the SSC-1500 for winterization?\u003c\/strong\u003e Close the seacock, remove the quick release plug, and insert the included service adapter so antifreeze can be pumped into the cooling system through the SSC-1500.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use the SSC-1500 for emergency bilge pumping?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.
