Abstract: The expansible tube type valve is an unconventional type of valve. This type of valve has been manufactured since 1940 under the trade name of Flexflo. Figure 1 shows the four simple parts required to make up the Flexflo valve. A synthetic rubber tube is stretched over a hollow cylinder. This cylinder contains a barrier near the mid-section and is slotted on the upstream and downstream side of the barrier. The tube is stretched over the cylinder or core and slipped into the body. A closure is then bolted on to the body. There are no gaskets or other seals required. The Flexflo valve has only one moving part-the expansible tube and it only expands and contracts. The Flexflo is essentially a diaphragm operated valve with the expansible tube being both the diaphragm and the valve.
