Abstract
A valve assembly (300) comprising a valve body (302) and a plunger (304). The plunger (304) is movable through an opening (314) in the valve body from (i) a transit seal position in which an axial bias spring (316) is relatively uncompressed, to (ii) an operating configuration in which the plunger (304) is movable between an operational open position and an operational closed position by or against the axial bias spring (316). In addition, the valve assembly (300) is configured to provide a mechanical restriction to the plunger (304) moving from the transit seal position to the operating configuration.
