A suggestion. You can get airline check valves from fish/pet stores. The check valves are used in conjunction with air pump to prevent water from siphoned into the air pump. The check valve costs about 2 bucks. Connect to your bleed line and voila. Automatic one way valve. No need to pinch the line with pliers.
