Tech Support Needed Older 120v Hot Springs Classic (is This Hose Needed?

Well i finally took the panel out of my old spa and a wire was broken off so I replaced it and now the spa heats and the circulate pump works. In the process however I broke this little hose off flush with the 90 degree elbow below the panel as seen with the red electrical tape. It goes from the 90 degree elbow to the jet pump 90 degree elbow. It is the small hose obviously.

Can someone tell me what that pipe is used for and if I could get away with just plugging the hole with a bolt rather than draining the spa drilling out the nipple and gluing a new nipple in?

Well I have decided to fix it right and drain the tub tonight.

Good choice - I use a 1/4" drill bit - it is slightly small for the nipple so I can ream the hole out a little at a time and make the nipple fit real tight.

They call it a bleed line. Really not needed on that good old Classic.
