Alde heated towel bar with bleeder valve anyone?

The exposed bleeder valve that is part of Alde's heated towel bar makes the towel bar a really attractive add-on for my 2020 T@B320S.  Anyone install/purchase one?   Is it true that the bleeder valve on my 320 is located below the access panel opposite the Alde expansion tank?  Alde shows the towel bar on their website, but no pricing I can see.

It appears the heated towel bar is not sold in the US, in the UK it's anywhere from 90-120 UK pounds (x 1.2 for US $). Curious where you want to put it, keep in mind the expansion tank needs to be the highest point in the system.

Well, @Grumpy_G, you caught me T@B daydreaming. Again. I was watching some English Alde glycol replacement YouTube videos and found myself envying the heated towel bar bleeder feature.  I knew I didn't have to think it through since I could count on a wise and friendly forum voice here reality orienting me!  As daydream background, I had one "mystery" fluid level drop a couple of trips ago... only discovered because there must be a low level pump shutoff.  As with others here, I topped up the fluid and have had 5 additional perfect performance days. So, I have hyper-Alde focus now! I'm sure it will pass... Thanks for your help.
