water pack tube/straw, called?

[paruhd0x]

I am looking to just get the tube/straw and the stopper mechanism so I can put a gallon water container next to my exercise bike. They have them on camel packs and other water backpacks.

If you know what they are called or where I could purchase just the tube/straw and stopper mechanism let me know.

Thanks.

We have a gallon-jug-sized rubber stopper from an old Christmas tree stand around here somewhere, along with a length of rubber tubing to fit. I'd offer them to you, but your water would probably taste like fir.

I think what he means by stopper mechanism is "valve" that closes unless suction pressure is being applied.

Something to that effect. Just don't want the water leaking everywhere while it isn't in use...

Yeah, no good, don't like the hint of sap with my water 🙂

I have a Big Bite valve + Thermal Control kit on mine for skiing. Works great, no leaking. Got it at REI.

Do a google search for bite valve.
