ABSTRACT:
A valve holder and a method of use thereof enables convenient securing and releasing of a valve, such as a stopcock valve. The valve holder allows an operator to operate a valve utilizing one hand. The valve holder includes a support block and a chamber fixed to the support block. In operation, the chamber receives a valve to be secured by the valve holder and a clamp member is tightened to the support block to thereby secure the valve in the chamber. A hand operated mechanical fastener such as a thumb screw is utilized to tighten the clamp member to the support block. Cooperating recesses in the chamber and clamp member secure the valve in the holder and prevent movement of the valve within the holder.
