Abstract:
An insert is provided for insertion through an opening in the surface of a conduit, the insert comprising an insert body having first and second open ends defining an axis of flow therebetween. The insert further comprises a valve flap connected to N the insert body. The valve flap is moveable between a closed position in which it creates a closure, thereby preventing flow along said axis, and an open position in which the valve flap allows flow along the axis. The valve flap is arranged so that, when in the open position, it is substantially U-shaped in side cross-section and is oriented with respect to the insert body so that said U-shape arches over the axis of flow.

Claim (Index 43):
An insert for provision of a valve in a conduit, the insert comprising an insert body and a valve flap, wherein the insert is to be fitted in the conduit via a slot formed in the surface of the conduit, said slot not extending across a full cross-section of the conduit; and a jointing strap for affixing to an outer surface of the conduit, the jointing strap having a cut out portion; wherein the cut out portion of the jointing strap forms a slot cutting template for creating the slot in the conduit, and the cut out portion holds the insert in place when the conduit is being sealed therearound.
