The new design eliminates sharp edges, with smooth contours that allow easier insertion and removal of tubing without snares. An integrated insert provides both positive tube retention and confirmation of correct tubing size. Manual push-button override is available as an option.

The valve's new design also includes a valve body constructed from Luran and a plunger composed of Ryton. These materials are resistant to most common cleaning solutions and easily meet Bio-Chem Fluidics' two million cycle operation standard.
