Fluid dispensing valve and method of assembly

A method for regulating flow from a container, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a valve subassembly that includes a through-conduit having a dispensing valve body adapted to regulate flow through the through-conduit;
• inserting the through-conduit into the container;
• and
• engaging the through-conduit with the container such that the dispensing valve body regulates flow from the container.

A fluid dispensing valve for controlling the flow of a fluid through a through-conduit, the through-conduit having an inner surface, the fluid dispensing valve comprising:

• a retainer having an upwardly extending plug;
• a dispensing valve body bounded by an exterior surface, an interior surface, a valve perimeter, and a dispensing orifice perimeter, the dispensing orifice perimeter being shaped to fit within the through-conduit such that the dispensing orifice perimeter can fit securely around and seal against the upwardly extending plug and such that the valve perimeter can form a sealing relationship with the inner surface;
• and
• a cap adapted to be attached to cover the through-conduit, the cap being associated with the through-conduit through a tamper evident attachment feature that only enables the cap to be removed from the through-conduit by breaking the tamper evident feature.

A fluid dispensing valve comprising:

• a through-conduit;
• a retainer positioned across the through conduit, the retainer having an upwardly extending plug and at least one flow aperture;
• a raised portion of the through-conduit opposite the retainer, the raised portion having a diameter;
• and
• a dispensing valve body having a diameter that is larger than the diameter of the raised portion, the dispensing valve body being adapted to be compressed to fit through the raised portion and into the through-conduit adjacent the retainer so that the retainer operatively engages the upwardly extending plug.
