I wonder why this is so?

How do you do this? Do you drill through the surface on which
you push to open the spit valve, all the way through to the
"back" side? Do you drill 90 degrees to this surface? If the
former, doesn't the valve leak when it's closed? The hole through
which the string passes would also open into the passage through
which water flows. So it seems like it would cause a leak.
Thanks very much.
