The UD Valve does what…???

Buried under the U.D.C. flap on the right thigh of the A7L, there are three things of interest. On the flap itself there is a small pocket that held a radiation dosimeter. And on the thigh of the suit covered by the flap is a small medical injection port. And last but not least… U.D.V., or  urine disposal valve. This diminutive blue valve was used to drain the small metal container that stored the liquid during E.V.A..

Why did I feel it was important to  include this seldom seen detail? I guess just because it is there.
