Abstract:
There is provided an irrigation valve with embedded rings for reinforcement of valve ports. The valve has a valve body and threaded flow paths, the flow paths including an outlet and an inlet on opposite sides of the valve body. Irrigation piping is attached to the inlet and to the outlet. The reinforcement rings at the inlet and the outlet prevent fracturing of the valve body and/or piping due to overtightening of the piping. Further provided is a scrubber for an irrigation valve. The scrubber and frees debris on a filter. The scrubber may be manually extracted for maintenance or replacement without the need for mechanical tools.

Claim (Index 18):
An irrigation valve comprising:\n a body defining an inlet and outlet, and a valve seat between the inlet and the outlet; a diaphragm mounted at the body to engage the valve seat to prevent flow from the inlet to the outlet and to move away from the valve seat to allow flow between the inlet and the outlet; a pressure chamber formed by the body and the diaphragm, the chamber controlling movement of the diaphragm depending on the pressure in the pressure chamber; a solenoid controlling the pressure in the pressure chamber; a flow path for fluid from the inlet to pass into the pressure chamber; a filter attached to the diaphragm to filter debris from fluid flowing into the flow path, the filter moving with the diaphragm; a scrubber fixed to the body that engages the filter to remove debris from the filter as the filter moves with the diaphragm; and the scrubber having at least one outward biased member, the member being manually movable by a user from a locked position with the body to an unlocked position relative to the body.
