Angled Bite Me Valve - Angled design with on/off switch - Superior flow rate for easy drinking - Leakproof construction keeps water where it needs to be - Easy to disassemble and clean - Angled design keeps a low profile and provides a better fit - Positive shut-off valve allows you to decide when and where your liquids are available

Bite Me Valve Use
For maximum flow, bite sheath with front teeth only and draw fluid in. Biting too hard and/or using teeth or molars will reduce flow and may damage or break the valve. The Bite Me valve is not intended for use by small children.

Disassembly, Cleaning, and Reassembly for Bite Me Valve
Remove bite valve by pushing it off the end of the drink tube. Remove sheath by pushing it off the end of the stem. Clean and sanitize the parts by soaking the sheath and the bite valve in the open position, in a diluted bleach solution. Replace sheath and reassemble by pushing the bite valve fitting into the end of the drink tube until it stops. Wet the sheath, then push it over the stem until you feel it lock into place. To assure proper operating and maximum flow, the dome of the sealing disk should protrude slightly beyond the end of the soft sheath.

Insulation
Insulated hydration pocket helps to keep your beverage either hot or cold.
