Bleeder Screen For Threaded Housings Single

The Bleeder Screen For Threaded Housings Single from King Racing Products (Part No. 3060) is a precision relief valve component designed to prevent air entrapment and pressure buildup in marine engine cooling systems. This compact screen works within threaded housings to allow controlled fluid bleed-off while blocking debris and contaminants from entering critical passages—an essential function in high-performance and commercial marine applications where cooling system integrity directly impacts engine longevity.

Weighing only 0.02 lbs with compact dimensions of 1.65 x 0.45 x 1.65 inches, this single bleeder screen is engineered to fit standard threaded housing configurations found in marine engine blocks and cooling manifolds. The fine mesh design prevents sediment, rust particles, and thermal debris from lodging in pressure relief pathways—a common cause of stuck valves and overheating. King Racing Products manufactures components to OEM specifications, ensuring compatibility with factory cooling system designs across a range of marine powerplants.

This replacement screen is essential for boaters performing routine engine maintenance or undertaking cooling system rebuilds. Whether maintaining a weekend fishing boat or servicing offshore racing equipment, keeping bleeder valves clean and functional prevents the pressure spikes that lead to hose failure, seal leakage, and unexpected breakdowns. The single-unit format allows targeted replacement at specific threaded ports without replacing entire valve assemblies.

Marine cooling systems operate under demanding conditions—saltwater corrosion, thermal cycling, and sediment accumulation all degrade original screens over time. Replacing worn bleeder screens before they restrict flow prevents catastrophic cooling failure and extends engine service life. Stock this King Racing Products component (SKU KRP3060) as part of a scheduled maintenance program or keep it on hand for emergency repairs at the dock.
