Abstract: A safety control valve for a domestic water supply system is described. It includes a valve body having a flow passage therethrough comprising a pair of laterally spaced vertical flow channels and a top flow cavity connecting these vertical flow channels. The top ends of the spaced flow channels open into a flat bottom face of the top flow cavity, which flat face forms a valve seat. A closure flap is mounted in the top cavity and is spring biased downwardly against the flat bottom face to close the valve. A central cylindrical cavity extends vertically between the bottom of the top flow cavity and the bottom of the valve body with a thin elastic diaphragm closing the top end of the cylindrical cavity. A solenoid is mounted on the bottom of the valve body concentric with the central cylindrical cavity.
