A Pinch Valve allows fluids (which may contain solids) to be easily restricted from flowing, without contamination or to be touching the valve mechanisms.
A standard Pinch valve contains a rubber or flexible elastic tubing sleeve/hose. The tubing is compressed by another mechanism which restricts the flow through the tube, thus acting as a valve and reducing the flow of liquid.
There are several types of Pinch Valve available.
On a smaller scale, Pinch Valves have been used in the original Super Soaker water pistols, whereby the finger trigger would push down on the tube, restricting the water flow. When the trigger was pulled back, releasing the valve, this allowed the pressurised water to flow through.
