DEVICES, ASSEMBLIES AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING FLUID FLOW

摘要

A valve is provided for controlling flow along a fluid line that includes an outer shell and an inner housing slidably disposed therein that includes connector threads surrounding a boss on one end and a passage through the boss. A backing member is coupled to the outer shell and has a sealing pin extending into the passage. A connector may be threaded into the one end of the inner housing, thereby slidably engaging the connector threads, causing the inner housing to move helically from a closed position wherein the sealing pin engages an outlet opening at the distal end of the boss to seal the outlet opening and an open position wherein the inner housing is directed away from the sealing pin to open a fluid path through the valve, around the pin, and through the outlet opening.
