BRAKE BLEEDER ONE-WAY VALVE

SAY ALL, SAW A VIDEO ON USING A ONE-WAY VALVE CONNECTED TO A HOSE DURING THE BLEEDING OF BRAKES.

HAS ANYONE USED THESE? IF SO ANY RECOMMENDATION ON WHAT TO BUY?

THANKS

 

That doesn't sound un reasonable, but I've never heard of it before.

That being said, I can't recommend a Motiv power bleeder with the correct adaptor (sold separately on Amazon) enough. Easy one person operation. My friends and I had always done the old school two person press the pedal / open close the bleeder technique, and now we all swear by the power bleeder. Notable better brake pedal feel. And it also allows you to quickly bleed out all the old fluid without too much worry about topping up the master cylinder.

 

Power bleeder, but just buy yourself a set of speed bleeders, seriously, best brake bleeding set up ever.

Russell, Goodridge, SpeedBleeder brands.

 

I've used Speed Bleeders on my 1962 Triumph TR3 for years. They work great.

 

Very interesting
Never heard of
Thanks for sharing all

 

Looks to me like if you jam on the brakes with one of those bleeders installed, the fluid pressure against the ball and spring would be great enough to open it up, thereby losing fluid. But what do I know...

 

Speed Bleeders

Watching the video the valve has to be turned 1/4 to 1/2 to open for the spring mechanism to function. According to the video and information provided it comes in several sizes including metric.

One review video shows this guy reviewing them on an old hot rod and he says the brakes after use were less spongy and the valve appears to function as advertised.

Want to lose maybe a drop or so of brake fluid when you change to speed bleeders? It's simple, fill to full line and place a piece of saran wrap over the reservoir and put the cap on. It create an air lock and doesn't let fluid drain due to the vacuum it creates. Remove it to properly bleed the system.

Used it all the time when doing hydraulic lines in vehicles and for creating a water lock on water systems in houses. [gotta dump the pressure first to zero] I could change out P&T valves in water heaters and maybe lose 4-6 ounces of water if I had my new one doped and ready. An old towel caught anything that did come out.

 

That’s not how Speed Bleeders work. When they’re tightened down after bleeding they seal just like any bleed screw. They have to be loosened a half turn, and then the spring loaded ball can pass fluid with pressure against it.
