Aircraft valve assemblies including clamp-specific baulking tab arrays and methods for the manufacture thereof

摘要

Embodiments of an aircraft valve assembly are provided for use in conjunction with a selected type of clamp having multiple segments separated by a predetermined gap spacing. In one embodiment, the aircraft valve assembly includes a flowbody having a ported end portion and a flow passage in which a valve element is movably mounted. An array of baulking tabs is mounted around the ported end portion at predetermined intervals corresponding to the predetermined gap spacing to substantially limit the type of clamps installable around the ported end portion to the selected type of clamp.
