ABSTRACT:
A combination diaphragm and seal device for valves which replaces a conventional bolt down diaphragm, and which permits automatic control valves and other valves to be closured by an industry standard groove coupler rather than a plurality of bolts through an external flange on the valve body. The diaphragm portion has a flat circular section with a central bore. This portion may be reinforced by a fabric layer and may or may not include a convolute for extra flexibility. The diaphragm portion is overlaid within and across the interior diameter of the groove coupler seal portion at about the midpoint thereof.
