Application

The CTA Tools Pro Series Brake Bleeder Adapters and Tank, No. 1275, allows any technician to easily identify, connect, pressurize, and perform proper routine brake bleeding services. 

Features and benefits 

  • The screw design pressure mechanism on many adapters ensures the best possible seal when connected to the master cylinder reservoir
  • The unique “Nitto” quick fitting features a wider pass-through for a smoother flow of brake fluid
  • It requires less overall pressure to bleed the system, which reduces damage to the adapters, hoses, and tank 

Origin

Pressure brake bleeding kits are not new to our industry, so we aren’t reinventing the wheel, but we have fine-tuned it from knowledge gained over earlier renditions. For example, we have learned which adapters could benefit from adjustable collars, offset connectors, and hose extensions for harder-to-reach reservoirs. The most noticeable improvement is the metal construction for extra durability.   

Manufacturing/engineering specifications

The kit and all of its components are manufactured in Taiwan with an all-metal construction to withstand the increasing brake fluid pressure required by new vehicles. In total, both the kit and adapter set weigh approximately 9lbs.
