ABSTRACT:
A diaphragm valve assembly adapted for use in irrigation systems as a zone valve includes a solenoid-operated diaphragm to control flow through the valve under normal operations, and a ball valve is situated between an inlet port and one or more outlet ports and is selectively movable to a position closing the valve to prevent liquid flow therethrough independently of the opening and closing of the diaphragm so as to permit servicing or repair of the valve without shutting off the entire system.
