bleed valve
Air purge port
A bleed valve is a valve that releases small amounts of fluid or gas from a pressurized system.
Mechanics open bleed valves to remove trapped air from brake lines or radiators: You'll need to open the bleed valve to get the air bubbles out.
In aviation and industrial settings, bleed valves regulate pressure by venting excess gas.
