Abstract
An inflation hub includes a body having an internal lumen defining first and second lumen sections. A stopcock valve has a stem extending from the body between the first and second lumen sections, the stem being selectively rotatable between an open position, wherein an internal channel thereof fluidly connects the first and second lumen sections together, and a closed position, wherein the stopcock valve fluidly disconnects the first and second lumen sections from one another. A pressure-relief valve is integrated within the stem of the stopcock valve and in fluid communication with the internal channel thereof, and includes a loading member biasing the pressure-relief valve into a closed position. The pressure-relief valve moves into an open position when the stopcock valve is in the open position thereof and a pressure with the internal lumen of the body exceeds a threshold, opening pressure of the loading member.
