A valve includes a valve body, an inlet orifice in fluid communication with a first fluid volume, an outlet aperture in fluid communication with a second fluid volume and in selective fluid communication with the inlet orifice by a first fluid flow path, an activation member axially movable relative to the valve body, and a plunger axially movable within the valve body. The plunger includes an aperture therethrough defining a second fluid flow path between the first and second fluid volumes. The valve is operable in a first mode in which fluid flow is only permitted along the first fluid flow path in response to manual actuation of the activation member. The valve is operable in a second mode in which fluid flow is only permitted along the second fluid flow path when a pressure difference between the first and second fluid volumes reaches a predetermined value.
A valve for selectively fluidly communicating a first fluid volume and a second fluid volume, the valve comprising:
