Inline Proportion Valve has flare port in place of bleeder.

New proportioning valve from Inline Tube has an inverted flare port in place of a bleeder port. What have others done to get a bleeder at this location? I’ve been looping round and round with both inline and local parts stores looking for a solution. A local hydraulic line shop can cobble up a number of fittings but it looks ridiculous when complete. Short of finding a correctly ported valve body, which is likely another 100 bucks from a different vender, anyone know of a flare port to bleeder adaptor? Using a port plug and cracking it to bleed is an option but you can’t get the air out of the hollow section of the plug in the orientation it sits. My last option is to JB Weld the space in the plug eliminating most of the air gap and dealing with the very small amount of air that would remain. Because of the angled upright orientation relative to the path the air would take to exit past the plug threads it would not be a perfect bleed but likely acceptable. Thoughts?
