Default Integra coolant bleed valve location?

Hey anyone have any idea where the bleed valve to release air from the water system is on a regular b18 non vtec engine. In the haynes manual it says it's on the thermostat housing(there's a pictures where it shows where it is on a gsr.....lol) but i can't see it anywhere.........LMK if you have the answer. also this is NOT the drain plug i'm referring to I'm referring to the coolant bleed valve you would use to bleed air out of coolant system....... thanks alot....
