Abstract:
1. A fluid control device for reducing the amount of fluid to be discharged, comprising: an inlet and an outlet orifice, said inlet being connected to said outlet by first and second flow paths, said second flow path including a single valve member, wherein, in use, the flow of fluid along said first flow path causes a pressure to act upon said valve member such that the flow of a fluid along said second flow path is prevented by said valve member if the pressure acting on said valve member is less than a threshold value, and the flow of a fluid along said second flow path is allowed by said valve member if the pressure acting on said valve member is greater than a threshold value; wherein said valve member comprises a diaphragm valve; wherein said inlet orifice, said outlet orifice, said first flow path and said second flow path are coaxial.
