Perko Sea Strainer Flush Cap (Medium (1"-1.25" Strainers))

We use the cap on our three raw water strainers to flush the systems with fresh water (we’re in the subtropics) and to use Barnacle Buster to descale. I had the misfortune of having one “ear” of my cap break off when I was securing it in place. I wrote to the manufacturer explaining the failure and I ordered another one. Within HOURS I heard back from the company both on my cell phone and in writing - ON A SUNDAY! They explained that they have beefed up the cap, were shipping the new one asap and were crediting the original one back to me! Who does this?! Apparently they do. Amazing!

I was a little skeptical after reading one of the reviews, but decided to purchase the strainer cap to winterize our boat. Beside my dog getting hold of it and chewing away part of the outer bracket, we used it. So happy that there were not any leaks. We were carefully to use the washers and get an even compression then it worked great to pull through the winterizing solution.

Awesome design, works perfectly. Makes winterization process so much easier. Love it!!!

Horrendous design, the gasket leaks from all directions. After spending a lot of time, I got the leak to the point where it drips, but considering these caps are used to flush air conditioners with acid, I can’t wait to clean up acid all over the bilge. Thank you perco for a truly remarkable product.Update:I was able to flush one AC with minimal leaks, however as soon as I moved to another unit, the cap started leaking all over again. At this point both strainer and the cap and going in the trash.

Worked great
