I recently salvaged a bleed nipple from a spare back axle and found it was automatic: the cone is spring loaded, so when the nipple is undone it acts as a one-way valve. When the nipple is done up it clamps the cone shut as usual.
It's dead good, and I'd like more - anyone know if they are still available, and where?

Now, if you insist....
Here are the links to the bleed valves:
