The Problem with Conventional Bleeder Screws

Bleeding hydraulic systems, such as brakes, clutches, or couplings, often involves dealing with the shortcomings of conventional bleeder screws. These screws typically have inadequate thread thickness, which allows air to enter the system and hydraulic fluid to escape. This results in persistent air bubbles within the system, compromising its efficiency and safety.

Issues with Traditional Bleeder Screws

1. Air Ingress: Conventional screws let air in and hydraulic fluid out, leading to air bubbles.
2. Thread Wear: Repeated opening and closing wear down the aluminum threads in the cylinder, potentially causing defects.
3. Non-Sealing Threads: Opened bleeder screws do not seal properly, allowing contaminants to enter.

The Stahlbus® Bleeder Valve Solution

The Stahlbus® Bleeder Valve addresses these issues with a two-part design featuring a non-return function. This innovative design ensures that during bleeding and filling, only the upper part with an integrated O-ring seal is unscrewed. This prevents both air and hydraulic fluid from entering through the opened thread.

Key Features of the Stahlbus® Bleeder Valve

• O-Ring Seal: Ensures an airtight seal, preventing air ingress.
• Non-Return Valve: Closes independently in case of pressure loss, maintaining system integrity.
• Single-Handed Operation: Allows for solo bleeding without assistance.
• Thread Protection: Prevents wear and tear on the caliper threads.
• Compatibility: Suitable for high and low-pressure systems, including ABS.

Benefits of the Stahlbus® Bleeder Valve

The Stahlbus® Bleeder Valve simplifies the bleeding process, making it possible to achieve complete system bleeding within minutes, single-handedly. This valve can be easily installed by replacing the existing bleeder screw and remains in the cylinder permanently.

Advantages Over Traditional Systems

• Efficiency: Reduces bleeding time significantly.
• Safety: Minimizes the risk of air bubbles in the system.
• Durability: Protects the cylinder threads from wear and tear.
• Versatility: Compatible with various hydraulic systems, including brakes, clutches, and couplings in automobiles, motorcycles, airplanes, and machines.

TÜV Rhineland Certification

The Stahlbus® Bleeder Valve has been rigorously tested by the TÜV Rhineland Group, a European Quality and Safety Standard organization, and received the highest rating for function and quality. This certification underscores the reliability and effectiveness of the valve in maintaining optimal hydraulic system performance.

Interesting Stats and Facts

• Brake Fluid Importance: According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), brake fluid is as crucial as brake pads and disks for the braking system's efficiency. NHTSA
• Air in Brake Systems: Studies show that even a small amount of air in the brake system can reduce braking efficiency by up to 30%. Source
• Hydraulic System Failures: Approximately 20% of hydraulic system failures in vehicles are due to improper bleeding and air ingress. Source

Conclusion

The Stahlbus® Bleeder Valve offers a groundbreaking solution to the common problems associated with bleeding hydraulic systems. Its innovative design ensures efficient, single-handed operation, making it a valuable addition to any hydraulic system maintenance toolkit. With TÜV Rhineland certification and compatibility with various systems, the Stahlbus® Bleeder Valve sets a new standard in hydraulic system maintenance.
