do these have the thing where you pull down on it to lift the actual valve part so you can drink from it?

this eddy bite valve folds down into a groove on the top lid of the camel bak that has the straw to the bottom of the bottle. If you mean by "the thing" as the little notch/lip on top of this rubber valve (shown hanging down in this picture from each valve) that allows you to tip the valve into an upright position, yes, there is a little notch or lip that your finger can then tip the vale upright and then you bite the valve to open it up a bit and drink up through the straw. These are great. Do not put in dishwasher if you use the dry cycle as they will melt. I have the full set and they are terrific. this eddy bite valve folds down into a groove on the top lid of the camel bak that has the straw to the bottom of the bottle.

No. I used a "pull down" faucet that allows the faucet head to be pulled out on a hose.

No, these do not have "straws" and a folding spout top. These have an autoseal type valve with a lever on the back side of the lid. There is a handle which folds down and out of the way. These work wonderfully and do not leak from the valve or the lid gasket. They are insulated though not recommended for hot drinks. Also of note is that they can "spit" a bit if you're going into higher altitudes like from sea level to the mountains. The straw type bottles made by this company are called Sheffield bottles. They also work well and do not leak. The straw type does require more work to suck up your drink. You can use the straw type without the straw, but, you then have to tip the bottle, you still have to suck to get your drink and they also may squeak when sucking.

No, there is no valve. This is good for older toddlers because they can get a large drink. When it tips it only spills whatever liquid is in the straw. I wouldn't recommend it without supervision or if you are looking for a leak proof bottle. Hope that helps.

Yes, it comes with an "O-ring" on the body of the valve, not on the flange like my Sta-Rite.

Neil, if you are talking about the Water turn off valve, no. That is a separate item.

Yes an they are the kind that actually keep fluid in the bottle. They fit snugly over the nipple to prevent leaks.

No, Just the tire. You can pick up a valve for a few dollars at wal-mart or any auto parts store. Just bring your old one to be absolutely sure you get the right size.

if you pull it up slightly you can get a trickle but I just remove it and pour carefully

If you mean a removable dropper that you squeeze than no. You can tip them and dispense drops that way.

Just got mine and YES there is a soft little plastic attachment that guides the water down into the glass container.

No. The blades are attached to a screw on lid. You remove the cup with that lid, unscrew the blades and then put your drinking lid on.

I don't know. Mine came with a couple of attachments that I didn't need and don't use, maybe that was for your special valves. I did not use the part and lost it long ago.

You are correct. You must remove the whole lid to take a drink. I was a little weary of this at first, but it is easy to drink from.

No, only the pull.It does work great and it is a great and pretty essential tool for kayakers

No. There is a hole on one side for the straw and a "sipper" slit on the other side that you can drink from.

No, i didn't notice if there is a valve, but this product is a really nice thing
