Description
Overview:
The Brake Bleed Screw 3/8" UNF x 24 tpi with M8 Nut is a small but critical service part for hydraulic brake systems on machinery and vehicles. Made from durable steel with a corrosion‐resistant plated finish, it is designed to vent trapped air so you can restore a firm, consistent brake feel. The precision 3/8" UNF thread (approx. 9.53 mm major diameter) with 24 tpi (approx. 1.06 mm pitch) helps ensure a reliable seal in compatible calipers and wheel cylinders. Supplied with an M8 nut (6 mm high) for secure retention where required, it suits a wide range of applications, from construction plant and compact agricultural equipment to road-going service vehicles. It is suitable for routine maintenance as well as repairs.
Key Features:
- 3/8" UNF x 24 tpi thread for common brake calipers and wheel cylinders (approx. 9.53 mm major diameter, ~1.06 mm pitch)
- Supplied with an M8 nut, 6 mm high, for secure locking where required
- Steel construction with a corrosion‐resistant plated finish for long service life
- Precision‐machined tip and seat to promote reliable sealing during bleeding
- Standard spanner flats for easy access in tight wheel and caliper areas
- Helps purge air efficiently to restore consistent braking performance
- Straightforward to install and remove during routine maintenance
- Suitable for professional workshops and DIY servicing
Typical Applications:
Used to bleed hydraulic brakes on equipment such as compact tractors, garden machinery with hydraulic brakes, site dumpers, mini excavators, UTVs, light commercial vehicles, and trailers fitted with hydraulic systems. Ideal for regular brake maintenance, caliper or wheel cylinder servicing, fluid changes, and fault finding where air ingress is suspected.
Also known as:
Bleed nipple, brake bleeder, bleeder screw, bleeder valve, air bleed screw, brake bleed valve. These terms are commonly used for the same component that allows controlled release of air and fluid from a hydraulic brake circuit.
