Abstract: A flushing device for a pipeline, conduit of the like. The flushing device comprises a substantially elongate body having a proximal end adapted for connection to a source of fluid pressure, and having a distal end, and further having an aperture in a sidewall of said elongate body. The elongate body is adapted to have its distal end inserted into a pipe fitting such that said aperture is oriented in the direction of fluid flow through a pipe; such that fluid pressure introduced into said proximal end is directed into said pipe, thereby flushing said pipe.
