Bleeder Valve up when the coolant is hot?

Hi,

I replaced my bleeder valve last week, after that I drove a couple of days with it up to bleed the system a little.
Yesterday when I got back home, I wanted to close the valve, however it was stuck up, after engine (and coolant) cooled down I could close the valve normally.
I took a drive to heat the engine again and bleeder valve was up again..

Is it normal?

Sasha

PS: My old valve was deformed and my coolant boiled a bit so I added some coolant and water hence the need for bleeding it
