The last time I did “Slurry” piping we used “Pinch Valves” (http://www.redvalve.com/rv/index.php/co … ew/67/116/) for shut-off and control. The great thing about this type of valve is there are no pockets to collect or trap the fines in the slurry.

Do these valves leak (at full closure)?
I am asking this because it will be pressing the soft tube using the sliding metal bars as clamp.

Also, if the slurry contains solids which are abrasive then can they still be used?
