Dan - I don't have any latent knowledge regarding the valve that you 
are asking about, but I did feel it necessary to comment on the last 
bit of information that you shared. When I first developed the 
self-bleeder concept for PNDC back in the spring of 1994, I used clear 
vinyl tubing so that I could actually see the bubbles being moved 
through the system. Due to the high pressures (15 PSI) and the high 
temperatures (195 degrees F) the tubing that I used finally failed, 
leaving me beside the freeway with green blood everywhere. If you use 
these types of tubing, you must ensure that it is rated for the 
environment that it will be asked to operate in. I used the best 
fiber reinforced clear tubing that I could find, and it was still not 
nearly adequate. If you've found something that will work, I would be 
interested in learning about it ... it is actually very satisfying to 
see the bubbles flow. Just a thought ...
