ABSTRACT:
A telescopic snap valve assembly and method of assembling a snap valve with a liquid holding bag in a box fitting. The valve assembly includes a valve member having a lower protruding telescopic end with a raised exterior lower edge. The telescopic end of the valve member is inserted into the center opening of the fitting so that the raised exterior lower edge snaps outward and protrudes from the bottom of the fitting locking the valve member to the fitting. Tight fitting between the telescopic end of the valve and the fitting, with or without a seal member such as O-ring, and the like further seal the valve member to the fitting so that no liquid becomes trapped and/or leaks from the assembly. The assembly can use a ball check valve, and can dispense all types of liquids and fluids such as but not limited to juice with pulp without clogging the valve.
