I have a flush tee installed on my vanagon but do not use it for actual
flushing, only filling and bleeding the system.  I found the only effective
way to flush is fill (although not necessarly bled); run engine till
operating temp is achieved; drain; let cool and repeat until water drains
clear, usually about 3-4 times.  I fill via the flush/fill tee in the
heater hose and drain by pulling on of the radiator hoses connected to it's
pipe. Hear is what my setup looks like:
