Vacuum bleeding brakes - questions:

I got the Motive bleeder from FCP that is very similar to jreed's solution. I have been happy with mine. Make bleeding brakes on my s70 a breeze.

That's clever! There's a joint between the braided hose and the clear hose?
Is there a check valve on the bottle to release the pressure?

Thanks. I got the idea from somebody else on MVS a few years ago... The pump was about $10 at one of the large hardware stores. I think it's intended for spraying fertilizer or pesticide.
There is a joint between the braided hose and the clear (yellow colored) hose. There is a pressure release valve built into the bottle.
