The valve includes a valve body (28) scalable to the container and a stem (30) mounted to the valve body having a portion in flow communication with the fluid storage region. The stem is movable relative to the valve body between an open position to permit flow from the fluid storage region through the valve, and a closed position to stop flow through the valve. The stem has a grasping region (68) spaced from the valve body. The grasping region is adapted rotate the stem to move the valve between the open and closed positions. The grasping region has first and second sides. One of the sides has a tactile indicator (74) to provide indication of the position of the valve, the other of the side is devoid of the tactile indicator.
