Jupiter has one with five valves ... four for pitch and one for spit.

What do I need a 5th valve for?

To dispense the booze.

Look. I ain't no expert. Ask the guy who built this:

Hm... Is it just me or did somebody pipe your hot water into your fuse box!

DANGER!

I thought everyone knew what that 5th valve was for. It is there just in case one of the other valves sticks.

There was a 5 valve Cerveny helicon for sale on ebay a couple of years ago. The 5th valve was a long whole step to "convert" it between CC and BBb. It had been restored by the owner years ago and had been sitting up but in beautiful condition; it eventually sold for around $2500.
