I just replaced another inflator valve because I wasn't flushing it well and it's more of a pain to service it than to replace it. Saw commercial garden hose flush adapters, and this thread -- but "I can make that!"

Here's a couple of images; more at the Thingiverse link.

That's awesome. Are you taking orders?

No interest in selling, but you are welcome to print it yourself, or take the files to your local library, or use one of the commercial printing services -- looks like about $5 to print it commercially.

I'll look into that. Thanks.
 
How does the hose attach to the adapter, does the scuba hose screw into the adapter ? I know the big end mates to garden hose, it’s just the other end I am trying to understand
Looks cool. I have a friend who has a 3D printer. I may bug him to build one.

I was just looking at it (I'll be printing one!) and yep, it's threaded for a standard LP hose

Yep. I wouldn't recommend detaching your regular inflator hose and flooding it, even with fresh water -- but if you have a spare inflator hose, or can pick one up cheap at a gear swap...
