Its dual-valve adapter lets you warm and flush the engine with fresh water before switching the cooling-system supply to marine antifreeze.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAllowing the engine to reach operating temperature opens the thermostat so antifreeze can circulate through the engine block and raw-water cooling passages.
