Pinch valve nomenclature
What's the proper technical name for the rubber pinch valves and needles
such as are used on basketballs? Someone is advocating using this principle for carbonator caps, instead of ball-lock or other quick-connect fittings, and I'm not sure what to call it. |

It's mentioned in several patents, but I don't see an accepted technical name: http://www.google.com/patents?q=bask...eedle+inflator Maybe it's in some specification for manufacturing them. "Basketball-type needle inflator valve" would be the best description I could give, but maybe someone else can do better. |

Used an analog air signal to progressively close. These were invaluable in slurry or sludge service. Also called sphincter valve and you can guess the other names.

I think I would call it a PITA to clean. -- Roger Shoaf If you are not part of the solution, you are not dissolved in the solvent. |

When they do, you just throw them away and put in another one. We called them "Duck's bill "valves from their shape. |
