Default V12 HE Radiator Bleed System

Hey all, I realise this has been covered quite a bit...

Just one question, the banjo valve on the RH front corner of the radiator whic feeds the bleed tubes.

It apparently has a non return system built into it.

The question... Does it allow flow from Banjo to Filler tube or does it allow flow from Filler tube to banjo?

And why is the non return necessary?

Thanks
Craig

The banjo on the RH top corner, is just a banjo. There is NO valve in it.

Some markets had a valve in the spigot AT the Fill Spout, and it caused more trouble than it was supposed to solve.
I know if NONE here with that nonsense still intact.

None of mine had it and never had issues.

The Banjo Bolt needs the slots elongated to meet the banjo collar correctly. That is the BIGGEST issue with the system.

I think?? I explalined that in the stickie at the top?? If not, and you are unsure, ask, I will explain.
