Zusammenfassung:There is provided an apparatus for controlling fluid flow, comprising a first component for holding or conveying fluid, the first component having a port for the passage of fluid, a fluid passageway (18) from the interior of the first component to the exterior of the first component through the port, a contact valve (1) located in the fluid passageway (18), a second component having an abutment means, and connecting means for connecting the second component to the first component, the contact valve (1) comprising a first valve arm (8) extending into the fluid passageway (18), the first valve arm (8) being movable between an open position in which fluid flow through the fluid passageway (18) is substantially permitted, and a closed position in which fluid flow through the fluid passageway (18) is substantially prevented, wherein, when the second component is connected to the first component, the abutment means moves the first valve arm (8) into the open position.
