I didn't like having that remote bleeder line so close to the header pipes however, so I slid a heat sock over the bottom half of the line (all the way to the slave fitting).
I used a tick performance remote bleed line for years without issue. Was always so grateful i could remove the cooked fluid directly from the slave cylinder - in under 15 mins. Unfortunately given my prior experience of bleeding the clutch with the stock bleed screw i have no confidence i could install a new line in my blue devil....

Here's how I solved the problem of a bleeder ruining the engine bay end of the remote hose [bought it from Tick several years ago], a 1500 psi needle valve I connect my Mittyvac to the brass nipple pull a vacuum, open the valve and keep pouring in the reservoir until the fluid runs clear in the hose:
