Valves for annular conduits and associated systems and methods are
disclosed. A fluid transmission system in accordance with one embodiment
of the invention includes a first conduit having a first wall aligned
with a flow direction in the first conduit and a second conduit disposed
annularly around the first conduit with a second wall aligned with the
flow direction. An access channel can be positioned to have an aperture
in fluid communication with the first conduit and can be isolated from
fluid communication with the second conduit. A valve element can be
positioned in fluid communication with the access channel and can be
movable between a first position and a second position, with the valve
element being positioned to allow a first amount of flow through the
access channel when in the first position and being positioned to allow
no flow or a second amount of flow less than the first amount of flow
through the access channel when in the second position. The valve can be
installed in aircraft fuel lines or other systems.
