-An '''Air Operated Pinch Valve''' is a full bore or fully ported type of [[Control Valves|control valve]] which uses a pinching effect by pressurized air to obstruct the flow. Air operated Pinch Valves are very easily constructed. They generally only consist of an extremely elasticized reinforced rubber hose, a type of housing, and two socket end covers or flanges. The rubber hoses of the air operated Pinch Valves are usually press-fitted and centred into the housing ends by the socket end covers or flanges.
