Claim:
A selectively controllable gas eliminating control valve system comprising: a valve casing having an inlet conduit, an outlet conduit, a fluid chamber communicating with the inlet conduit and the outlet conduit, and a junction communicating between the outlet conduit and the fluid chamber; a control assembly operatively associated with the valve casing for controlling the flow of fluid through the valve, the control assembly including an axially operated solenoid plunger and the inlet conduit being axially aligned with the solenoid plunger, the outlet conduit being generally perpendicular to and axially offset from the inlet conduit; the inlet conduit, outlet conduit, fluid chamber and junction defining a fluid flow path; the fluid chamber receiving fluid through the inlet conduit, fluid exiting the chamber through the outlet conduit, the junction generally continuously connecting the chamber merging with the outlet conduit without any recesses; and wherein the junction is formed adjacent a portion of the fluid chamber for allowing gas to be eliminated through the outlet conduit to avoid accumulation of gas in the fluid flow path.
