Abstract
A low restriction valve is provided for mounting to the end of a tube. The valve includes a valve body formed of an elastomeric material which may flex to conform to the shape of the end of the tube to thereby form a seal between the valve and the tube. In addition, a regulator portion is provided and includes a disk portion and a stem extending from the disk into the valve body. The disk is movable in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the valve body such that the disk may move from a position spaced from an end of the valve body allowing fluid flow to a position in contact with the end of the valve body to prevent back flow of fluid.
