Abstract
A water control valve includes a valve body defining a valve body internal cavity, a first air inlet passageway in communication with the valve body internal cavity, a first water outlet passageway in communication with the valve body internal cavity, and a water inlet passageway. The water control valve further includes a valve cartridge removably coupled to the valve body. The valve cartridge is sized to fit at least partially within the valve body internal cavity. The valve cartridge defines a second air inlet passageway and a second water outlet passageway. The first air inlet passageway is aligned with the second air inlet passageway and the first water outlet passageway is aligned with the second water outlet passageway when the valve cartridge is coupled to the valve body.
