Nice Stahlbus Bleeder Valve and nothing to put on? This is the ultimate answer to the standard dust cover made of rubber. So please do not forget to put on the new cover after having successfully bled the brake /clutch.

CNC precision turned part made of anodised aluminium with rubber insert for a firm seat.

Design: Groove (fits the Stahlbus Bleeder Valve)

Other colours available:

grey
red
green
blue
golden
nickel-plated (does not match the titanium valve optically)

Note: The red, green and blue colours may change slightly if exposed to heat. This is no reason for claiming. This cover only fits onto original Stahlbus Bleeder Valves.

P.S.: A little care brings major effects also to small part. Please wipe away the last drops of brake fluid from the nipple before putting the cover on.

Assistance for determining the thread size

In order to find the Stahlbus Bleeder Valve that fits your purposes, you first have to measure the thread of the currently installed bleeder nipple. You may either use a measuring gauge, or you may download the template prepared for this purpose.

How to measure with the measuring gauge

You determine the thread diameter by measuring the external dimensions of the thread with the slide gauge.
To determine the thread pitch, you measure the length of four thread turns with the tips of the slide gauge. Always measure the distance from thread crest to thread crest.

If the value measured is 4 mm, the thread pitch is 1.0; if the value measured is 5 mm, the thread pitch amounts to 1.25.

How to measure with the template

Take the bleeder nipple to be replaced by a Stahlbus Bleeder Valve. Compare the thread successively to the different printed pictures of threads until you have found exactly that thread which is precisely covered by the valve. Please make sure the template is even and does not wrap itself around the valve.

For valves with a diameter of M10 you have to additionally determine the thread pitch. To do so, please cut out the left corner below of the template. Then hold the thread of the valve successively above both sides of the cut-out template for the thread pitch. You have determined the correct pitch if the serrated edges of the thread template exactly match the thread turns.
