    Also called speed bleeders. I've never personally used them, but I here they work good.

    I had a set that I purchased from a board member. They do work, but a couple of years later I removed them and replaced with stock bleeders.

    I usually just open the bleeder screws and let the system gravity bleed. If I replace the master, I bleed it on the bench, first. Never used these critters.

    Ive got a old large brake fluid bottle that has a small hole drilled in the cap with a long piece of clear plastic tube pushed through that fits snug. It is about a 1/4 full of old fluid. I'll crack one bleeder at a time and place the plastic tube over the bleeder, get in the car and pump 10 times. get out and go to the next if needed. Never fails and little to no mess. Another + is the old fluid can be reused if needed.

    I use this metod on all cars. Cars with ABS to. Works good.
    Only need air pressure " like the wind from the south". I have done different caps. Goran

    I had to do the same thing on my Suburban with ABS when I replaced ALL the steel lines . I was also replacing the Master Cylinder so I just drilled a hole in the old cap and used a regulator set at 15 PSI . It worked great.

    Not refrigeration copper, I hope. Looks like they may be DoT approved, per Larry's link.

    For bleeding, order a Motive power bleeder. I can do all four corners in under 10 minutes on my own now.

    If i have Steel Fastener i have to put Rubber or plastic in between the fastener and copper.
    Because the Copper is " moving".
    Available in 5/16 and 3/8 to.
    I use them for Gasoline tube. Goran
