Disclosed below is a valve constructed with an electrical circuit extending through separable flow-control elements of the valve whereby the circuit may be opened by actual parting of the separable elements. For specific uses, the valve is characterized by structure permitting instant opening to full flow, high flow capacity, self-opening action, and latching mechanism for locking it in closed position.
