A one-time bleed valve with reset capability for an anti-lock hydraulic control unit comprises a piston adapted to be sealingly installed in a bore made in a body of the hydraulic control unit in response to a brake pressure. The bore is located in a portion of the body that is immediately under a recessed part of the body that accommodates a normally open electromagnet valve. On its one end, the bore is in communication with a primary hydraulic pressure circuit, whereas on another its end it is connected with a low-pressure line. Owing to such a structure, when the piston sits loosely in the bore, an air communication is established between the primary hydraulic pressure circuit and the low-pressure line, and air can evacuate from the low-pressure brake circuit on exposure to a vacuum applied to the primary hydraulic pressure circuit. To provide the bleed valve with a reset capability, an access hole is made between outside of the body and the bore.Also disclosed is a hydraulic brake system for vehicle wheels that employs bleed valves of the above-described structure.
