valved
Fitted with stoppers
Valved describes something equipped with a valve or valves—devices that control the flow of liquids, gases, or other materials through a passage.
The term appears most often in technical and scientific contexts: a valved faucet, valved brass instruments like trumpets, or the valved hearts of vertebrates.
In biology, valved may describe shells or seed pods that open along defined segments.
