Claims14
A valve for controlling flow through a fluid connection, comprising a housing having a portion forming a damping chamber that is filled with a fluid and has a throttling outlet opening, a valve member received in the housing and movable relative to a valve seat in the housing, a displacer movably received in the damping chamber, operatively associated with the valve member and biased relative to the housing such as to tend to close the valve, and a resilient releasable catch arrangement acting between the housing and the displacer and having catch elements and countercatch elements which when engaged define at least two positions of the displacer relative to the housing.
