HEL Stainless Steel M8 x 1.25 Bleed Nipple – BNM8x1.25

HEL Stainless Steel M8 x 1.25 Bleed Nipple – BNM8x1.25

The HEL Performance bleed nipple has been manufactured in-house from high-quality Stainless Steel (303) and serves as a vital component in all automotive braking systems. A bleed nipple allows any old, new or contaminated brake fluid to be drained from the brake caliper, as well as any air that is trapped in the system. When components such as brake discs/rotors, pads or calipers are replaced, air can enter the system. Trapped air can cause a severe drop in brake fluid when the system is circulating, causing inconsistency and unreliability in the brake pedal/lever and ultimately, the performance.

It is incredibly important to ensure that your braking system is bled correctly as any contaminated fluid or air in the system will effect the consistency, reliability and performance of the brakes.

Specification

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the AN size mean?

AN (or dash) sizes describe the hose size in sixteenths of an inch, so -6 AN is 6/16" (3/8") and -8 AN is 8/16" (1/2").

Do AN fittings need thread sealant?

AN fittings seal on a 37° flare, so the flare should not be sealed. Tapered NPT threads do need a suitable thread sealant.

Will this fit my hose and fittings?

Check the thread size, AN size and material in the specification before ordering. Contact us if you need help matching parts.
