A valve includes a valve body, an inlet orifice in fluid communication with a first fluid volume, an outlet aperture in fluid communication with a second fluid volume and in selective fluid communication with the inlet orifice by a first fluid flow path, an activation member axially movable relative to the valve body, and a plunger axially movable within the valve body. The plunger includes an aperture therethrough defining a second fluid flow path between the first and second fluid volumes. The valve is operable in a first mode in which fluid flow is only permitted along the first fluid flow path in response to manual actuation of the activation member. The valve is operable in a second mode in which fluid flow is only permitted along the second fluid flow path when a pressure difference between the first and second fluid volumes reaches a predetermined value.

1. A valve for selectively fluidly communicating a first fluid volume and a second fluid volume, the valve comprising: a valve body;an inlet orifice in fluid communication with the first fluid volume;an outlet aperture in fluid communication with the second fluid volume and in selective fluid communication with the inlet orifice by a first fluid flow path;an activation member axially movable relative to the valve body;a first plunger axially movable within the valve body, the first plunger including an aperture therethrough defining a second fluid flow path between the first and second fluid volumes;a second plunger axially movable relative to the first plunger; anda first biasing member that biases the first plunger toward the inlet orifice,wherein the valve is operable in a first mode in which fluid flow is only permitted along the first fluid flow path in response to manual actuation of the activation member,wherein the valve is operable in a second mode in which fluid flow is only permitted along the second fluid flow path when a pressure difference between the first and second fluid volumes reaches a predetermined value, andwherein a distal portion of the second plunger forms a seal with the inlet orifice when the valve is closed, and wherein the distal portion is spaced from the inlet orifice when the valve is open. 2. The valve of claim 1, wherein the first plunger is movable between a first position in which a portion of the first plunger at least partially blocks the outlet aperture to inhibit fluid flow through the outlet aperture and a second position in which the outlet aperture is unblocked to permit substantially unimpeded fluid flow through the outlet aperture. 3. The valve of claim 1, wherein the first plunger is coupled to the activation member for axial movement with the activation member. 4. The valve of claim 1, wherein the first plunger includes a central aperture that provides a fluid flow path between the first and second fluid volumes. 5. The valve of claim 4, wherein the second plunger includes a contact surface, and wherein the second plunger is axially movable relative to the first plunger between a sealed position in which the contact surface engages the central aperture to form a seal with the central aperture that prevents fluid flow through the central aperture, and an unsealed position in which the contact surface is spaced from the central aperture to permit fluid flow through the central aperture. 6. The valve of claim 5, further comprising a second biasing member that biases the second plunger toward the sealed position. 7. The valve of claim 5, wherein a distal portion of the second plunger forms a seal with the inlet orifice when the valve is closed, and wherein the distal portion is spaced from the inlet orifice when the valve is open. 8. The valve of claim 7, wherein the distal portion of the second plunger includes a pointed tip. 9. The valve of claim 4, wherein the first plunger includes a hollow, cylindrical portion, and wherein the second plunger is at least partially received within the cylindrical portion. 10. The valve of claim 9, wherein the distal portion of the second plunger extends through the central aperture of the first plunger, and wherein a gap is defined between the distal portion and the central aperture. 11. The valve of claim 10, wherein the gap is a first gap, wherein the second plunger includes a body disposed within the cylindrical portion of the first plunger, and wherein a second gap is defined between the body and the cylindrical portion. 12. The valve of claim 1, wherein the first plunger is movable between a first position in which a portion of the first plunger at least partially blocks the outlet aperture to inhibit fluid from flowing between the first and second fluid volumes through the outlet aperture and a second position in which the outlet aperture is unblocked to permit substantially unimpeded fluid flow between the first and second fluid volumes through the outlet aperture,wherein the first plunger includes a central aperture that provides a fluid flow path between the first and second fluid volumes,wherein the second plunger includes a contact surface, andwherein the second plunger is movable relative to the first plunger between a sealed position in which the contact surface engages the central aperture to form a seal with the central aperture and prevent fluid flow through the central aperture, and an unsealed position in which the contact surface is spaced from the central aperture to permit fluid flow through the central aperture. 13. The valve of claim 12, wherein, in the first mode, the first plunger is axially movable independently of the second plunger as the first plunger moves from the first position to an intermediate position between the first position and the second position, and wherein the second plunger is axially movable with the first plunger as the first plunger moves from the intermediate position toward the second position. 14. The valve of claim 13, wherein a periphery of the central aperture bears against the contact surface of the second plunger to move the second plunger with the first plunger as the first plunger moves from the intermediate position toward the second position. 15. The valve of claim 1, wherein the predetermined value is about 7,600 psi. 16. The valve of claim 1, wherein, in the second mode, the valve closes as soon as the pressure difference between the first and second fluid volumes drops below the predetermined value. 17. The valve of claim 1, wherein, in the first mode, when the valve is opened in response to manual actuation of the activation member, the valve remains open until the pressure difference between the first and second fluid volumes is substantially zero.
