Default Clutch Bleeding

My brother in law wants me to bleed his 5th gen clutch, is the valve a one way?
This way I don't have to open and close it and just immerse a hose in the fluid?

I was cautious on my Integra and did the open and close but it was tedious!
thanks

You don't need to open and close bleeder valves. You take a bottle of old or crappy brake fluid. Then you take a vacuum hose. You put one end of the vacuum hose over the bleeder valve. The other end has to be SUBMERGED in the brake fluid in the bottle.

Then you just pump away and make sure you keep the reservior topped off. That's how lonely guys like me can bleed brakes and clutches in like 5 mins. I use this method very often. I have to flush brake fluid millions of times because I track my cars. I can't be waitin around for fools to show up to help out.

Thanks for the replies. I was aware of the submerged method but questioned it
Because it will suck up some old fluid.
