I used 3 male 1/4-NPT x 1/8 barb fittings, 1 female 1/4-NPT x 1/8 barb fitting, 1 female 1/4-NPT x 1/8-NPT coupler, and 1 female 1/4-NPT 90° fitting. I also put a ball valve on the pressure input side. The valve is needed to control the vacuum. | I used 3 male 1/4-NPT x 1/8 barb fittings, 1 female 1/4-NPT x 1/8 barb fitting, 1 female 1/4-NPT x 1/8-NPT coupler, and 1 female 1/4-NPT 90° fitting.

There are a few issues with vacuum bleeding. First is sucking air around the bleeder valve threads. The solution is to use teflon tape or thread sealer on the threads. | There are a few issues with vacuum bleeding. First is sucking air around the bleeder valve threads.
