Part number: 816/60040
Manufacturer: aftermarket
Material: steel
Application: brake system – drive axles
Precision-manufactured brake bleed valve designed for brake systems in drive axles of JCB machines. This component plays a critical role in the braking system, allowing air bubbles to be removed from the brake fluid, which is essential for maintaining a firm brake pedal and full braking performance.
The valve is made of high-quality steel, ensuring excellent sealing, corrosion resistance, and long service life under demanding operating conditions. A properly functioning bleed valve is essential for safe and effective braking.
JCB – backhoe loaders: 1CX, 2CX, MIDI CX, 3CX, 4CX
JCB – telescopic handlers: Loadall (wide range of models)
JCB – wheel loaders: various models
JCB – other machines:
JS wheeled excavators
Teletruk forklift trucks
Vibromax rollers
dumpers
The bleed valve allows air to be removed from the hydraulic brake system. Since air is compressible, even a small amount can cause a soft, spongy brake pedal and a significant loss of braking force. For this reason, the bleed valve is a safety-critical component.
Replace the bleed valve if it is:
seized or broken, preventing brake bleeding
has a rounded head, making proper tightening impossible
leaking brake fluid after tightening
internally blocked by dirt or corrosion
Brake bleeding is the perfect opportunity to replace the brake fluid. Use only new, clean fluid of the specification recommended by the manufacturer, e.g. HYPTRON. To prevent future seizure of the bleed valve threads, a small amount of copper grease may be applied, taking care not to block the valve opening.
