The flexible venturi provides a variable area orifice to accommodate a large range of flow rates while providing a venturi effect throughout the range of flow rates. In addition, the flexible venturi is preferably a duckbill valve such that the venturi provides a check valve function for preventing reverse flow through the venturi. The duckbill valve is also preferably provided in combination with an umbrella valve wherein the umbrella valve provides a pressure limiting function for a fluid supply line connected to the venturi.
