The actuator is pivotable about a pivot axis between an open position, wherein the channel and the opening of the body form a continuous fluid path, and a closed position, wherein the channel and the opening of the body do not form a continuous fluid path. The actuator is also rotatable between a locked position, wherein the actuator is not movable between the open and the closed position, and an unlocked position, wherein the actuator is movable between the open and the closed position. The pivot axis is parallel to but offset from a plane in which the longitudinal axis of the closure exists.
