Question:

spit valve on clarinets?

Answer:

Nope. There isn't a need for a spit valve since any condensation which forms can just fall out onto your feet. Spit valves are only needed in instruments where moisture builds up. However, you may find that sometimes moisture will get trapped in some of the keys, causing certain notes to have trouble sounding. Every now and then if this happens you can open the key and blow across the hole to blow away any moisture which has formed.
Nope, no such luck!
