Abstract
A valve includes a stem, a cap, and a deformable lip. The stem includes a first sealing portion and has a longitudinal axis. The cap is connected to the stem and includes a passageway. The deformable lip extends from a periphery of the cap and includes a second sealing portion. The stem is displaceable relative to the deformable lip along the longitudinal axis of the stem to open the first sealing portion and close the second sealing portion to allow fluid to move through the passageway in the cap.
