Yes, as the ball is pressed against the seating by the blunt-ended Grimeca bleed nipple so the ball seals the port, unlike other types where the tapered bleed nipple closes off the seating.

That depends why it is done.
Is it to improve the part in some way?
Or to simplify the product to allow for cheaper / lower quality machining ops?
I suspect the latter ?

Actually, if you think about it, it must be better than the common or garden tapered nipple when you are bleeding the brakes, as the ball should act like a non return valve, dropping back on it's seat between pumps.

I've also found the seat doesnt get buggered up with the ball. I've had a few Lockheed's where the brake nipples have been dreadfully over tightened & left a smear or cut on the seat. I know I shouldn't buy rusty knackered second hand shite but I just cant get out of the habit! Lol
