ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The invention relates to valve type spout for a fluid container, especially for a pouch worn by a patient to collect fluid discharged from a surgically formed stoma at his abdominal wall. Heretofore, such valve type spouts have been rigid in construction and of uniform circular cross-section, their outlet ends being closed by removable valve caps. They suffer the disadvantages of becoming clogged during emptying, of having cap removal difficulties, of being without effective control of fluid drainage and of not readily accommodating attachment to external drains. These disadvantages are overcome by the invention, according to which the spout is flexible as has an inlet neck section of oval cross-section, to facilitate clamping thereof between the user's fingers to close the spout before the cap over the outlet end section is removed, thereby assuring control of the discharge through the spout. A flexible tubular coupling member for feeding an external collection unit readily attaches to the outlet end section and provides lea-proof connections with striations or mating ridges.
