Hose adapter to fit Hayward De filter drain plug opening?

[Yaeugd]

Has anyone ever cobbled together something for when rinsing off the de filter I wonder if they sell a hose attachment that would screw into the drain plug of a hayward DE filter? I think it’s 1.5 inches the screw in plug? Wonder if I can use this for it?

I know people have replaced the drain plug on filters with a valve. Then it's real easy and nobody has to get wet a second time.

Good to know thanks for the info

Just to follow up the adapter screwed in [perfectly and then added the hose to wash and drain away the DE debris. However, due to no pressure any fold in the blue hose will stop the flow might add some flexible PVC to help divert the gunk for next time.
