There is provided a filter for a diaphragm valve. The filter attaches to a diaphragm of the valve and filters fluid entering a control chamber in the valve. The filter includes internal structure that increases the path from where fluid enters the filter through a mesh of holes to a single exit flow path leading to the control chamber. This increased path reduces the potential for debris in the flow to clog the exit flow path from the filter.

An adapter is provided for a solenoid of a valve. The adapter provides a radial seal and enables manually bleeding by rotating the solenoid. The adapter includes two primary components with a one-way locking engagement between them that can be manually reversed for service of the adapter and the solenoid.
