Abstract

A drain valve for a sterile container includes: a valve housing; a bypass that connects a container gas volume with an external gas volume; a valve body that blocks the bypass; and an actuator that displaces the valve body between a passage position and a blocking position. The valve body is displaceable according to a temperature and/or a pressure of the bypass gas volume. The valve housing has: at least one holding web, at least part of which can be located in a holding bracket of the valve receptacle; and a closure. The valve housing is pivotable from an open position into an installation position in which the closure can be fixed to a closure receptacle. When the valve housing is transferred into the installation position, the valve body is transferred into the blocking position and subjected to a closure force.
