摘要

A fluid delivery system for delivering a fluid from a fluid bag (60) to an animal caging system for housing an animal may comprise a fluid delivery valve assembly, wherein the fluid delivery valve assembly (1) is adapted to be coupled to the fluid bag to facilitate the providing of the fluid to the caging system. The fluid delivery valve assembly (1) may further comprise an upper member (10) having a piercing member (11) and a connecting member (212), the upper member (10) having a fluid channel (230) defined therethrough, a base (230) having a flange member and a base fluid channel defined therethrough, wherein the base is designed to be matingly coupled to the upper member. The fluid delivery valve assembly may further comprise a spring element disposed within the base fluid channel and a stem member disposed in part within the base fluid channel, wherein a portion of the spring element abuts the stem member to apply a biasing force.
