HPS Performance Billet Aluminum Coolant Bleed Valve Kit 2013-2026 BRZ / FRS / 86 | Durable Aluminum Upgrade | Cooling System Maintenance
Overview
The HPS Performance Billet Aluminum Coolant Bleed Valve Kit is a direct upgrade for the stock plastic coolant bleed valve found on Subaru BRZ, Scion FRS, and Toyota 86 models from 2013 through 2026. Designed to replace the OEM part numbers SU003-02110 and 72442SA000, this kit addresses a common failure point in the cooling system caused by the stock valve’s tendency to crack and leak after repeated heat cycles. It is an essential maintenance and reliability upgrade for enthusiasts who want to ensure consistent coolant system performance and avoid unexpected coolant loss or overheating issues.
Crafted from 6061 billet aluminum, this valve kit exemplifies HPS Performance’s commitment to quality and durability. The precision-machined aluminum elbow and bleeder screw provide a robust, heat-resistant alternative to the fragile plastic OEM component. The included 3mm high-temperature silicone hose routes escaping coolant safely away from sensitive engine bay components, preventing damage to belts and electronics while offering a clear visual indication of trapped air or coolant leaks during bleeding procedures.
For Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 owners, this upgrade means improved peace of mind and easier coolant maintenance. The valve’s design allows for quick and secure bleeding of trapped air bubbles with just a 1/4" wrench, streamlining routine coolant system servicing. This billet aluminum valve kit not only enhances reliability but also contributes to maintaining optimal engine temperatures, which is critical for both daily driving and spirited performance use.
