Apparently not. Either that, or the B-727 is not a narrowbody.

All those hours in the B-727 sims running the dump panel while I was cranking the gear down and protecting essential must have been a figment of my imagination.

I often wonder how many aircraft types one must be familiar with before he can authoritatively proclaim how most, or all, or even typical aircraft systems behave. . . . .

Title 14 CFR §25.1001 Fuel jettisoning system outlines the FAA standards for the system. In that regulation, there is no specific requirement for a flowmeter, an electric pump, or a float operated shutoff valve -- scratch A, B, & C. Subparagraph (g) states, "The fuel jettisoning valve must be designed to allow flight personnel to close the valve during any part of the jettisoning operation." I'd put my money on D.
