ABSTRACT:
A valve assembly having a base and a removable latched insert that separately contains a valve piece. The valve piece is resiliently supported to abut a seal fitted to the insert. The insert is restrained to the base with a pair of resiliently biased latch arms that radiate from the insert. Flanges at the latch arms are resiliently biased to flex and grip the base as the insert is pushed into the base. Insert removal is effected with the release of the latch arms and a lifting of the latch arms.
