    I know exactly what you're talking about. Commonly  called "pinch 
valves". I even had some at work recently that would I used to  isolate a 120psi 1/2" 
ID air hose. Unfortunately, I looked in some catalogs and  couldn't find the 
exact model. 
    Never thought of using them to connect to the  primary (a bit bulky), but 
clever!
