Abstract
A fluid coupling member includes a housing having an interior and an exterior, the interior of the housing defining an airflow path through the fluid coupling member, a valve member pivotally attached to the interior of the housing, and at least one protrusion formed on the valve member or the housing. The at least one protrusion is structured to prevent the valve member from becoming stuck in a downward folded position against the housing.
