Bleeding funnel?

Post by zippy » Thu Nov 19, 2015 9:51 pm

Hayden's bleeding tutorial, where can I get that funnel and nipple from. Anyone know?

If you have to buy them separate, what size do I need?

I was thinking about using water butt connectors.

will fit 13mm ID hoses.

Can convert any clear container into one.

The bleed hose is smaller than 13mm ID, probably more like 8 or 9mm. I've used some of the fast-fit plumbing fittings which allows option of an on/off valve.

Hi
I have used a jug and tap...there's no need for gloves, and no risk of burning fingers : http://igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/view ... ap&start=0
