When using a "flow control valve" as a "blocking valve" it ceases being a "flow control valve" and is no longer legal. While not even predicting if the GDC would answer a question about this, the logic is similar to what they used in the past.

Using a quick connect fitting is a good idea, but they are essential check valves which are not legal. Of course if it is considered to be an integral part of an legally allowed connecting fitting...
Why is a flow control valve not allowed to limit the flow to 0? Can you specify a rule that says it may not? Are you saying that these are not legal, since they can also completely block flow?
