Ok then I'll install them. How large is it?
I'll use 1/2 hose and install an orifice then take the orifice out when I hook the garde.....engine flush hose up for trailer running. Does the air bleed have a one way check valve of sorts to let air/water out but not in?

Do the air bleeds have check valves?
Do they stay and dump below the water line?
What size are they?
Thanks for the input.
