Abstract
An irrigation valve has a liquid passage, a sealing diaphragm and a control port that can receive control signals. The sealing diaphragm is held in the valve in a non clamped manner and is adapted to seal the passage. Upon receipt of a control signal the sealing diaphragm bends and opens a path for liquid around the sealing diaphragm that can exit the valve.
