Zone control devices that integrate a valve, filter, and pressure regulator within a single device are provided. Specifically, the zone control devices include a main body having a base portion with an inlet passage and an outlet passage attachable to a conduit and a body portion extending from the base portion having an interior for receiving a filter. The zone control devices further include a valve bonnet including a solenoid bowl for attaching a solenoid. In some embodiments, an adapter removably couples the valve bonnet to the main body of the zone control device and forms an interface between the valve bonnet and the main body to operate the valve. The zone control devices also may include a pressure regulator in the vent flow path positioned in a vent flow path of the valve bonnet downstream of the solenoid for regulating pressure at the valve. In embodiments, the vent flow path is positioned to vent fluid into the main body downstream of the filter.
