text: A valve construction, comprising: an elongated housing, said housing including means defining a pair of longitudinally spaced chambers, said chambers being closed at their remote ends; a passageway connecting the adjacent ends of said chambers, said passageway being of smaller cross sectional area than said chambers and having oppositely facing valve seats formed at the ends thereof, said housing having three ports formed therein, one of said ports communicating with said passageway and the other ports communicating respectively with the respective chambers; a solid, extensible valve rod extending through said passageway and beyond the axial ends thereof into said chambers, said valve rod being of smaller cross-sectional area than said passageway and defining therewith a zone through which fluid may flow between said chambers and said one port; a flexible diaphragm Within and extending transversely across each of said chambers and mounted on said housing for flexing movement toward and away from the other chamber, said flexible diaphragms being connected to said valve rod and means on said valve rod and each said diaphragm defining a valve member sealingly engageable with the adjacent valve seat, the length of said valve rod between said valve members being substantially equal to the distance between said valve seats so that when one valve member engages the adjacent valve seat the other valve element is spaced from its adjacent valve seat and vice versa, said diaphragms having openings therethrough whereby fluid pressure within the respective chambers will act on both sides of the diaphragm therewithin; an axially movable actuating rod extending through the remote end of one of said chambers and continuously engaging said valve rod for moving said valve rod axially; means in said one chamber, including the diaphragm therewithin and said actuating rod, defining pressure surfaces responsive to fluid pressure within said one chamber, said last named means providing a greater pressure surface area facing toward said passageway than the pressure surface area facing away from said passageway whereby when said one chamber is pressurized, said valve rod is urged toward the remote end of said one chamber; means in the other chamber, including the diaphragm therewithin, defining pressure surfaces responsive to fluid pressure within said other chamber, said last named means providing a greater pressure surface area facing toward said passageway than pressure surface facing away from said passageway whereby when said other chamber is pressurized, said valve rod is urged toward the remote end of said other chamber.
