  • Patent number: 4231393
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an arrangement in or relating to a valve comprising a housing having an inlet and an outlet whose interconnection is closable by means of a differential piston slidably arranged in a cylinder in the housing, said differential piston being equipped with a bore interconnecting its large and small sides, said valve further comprising a conduit or the like leading from the chamber in the housing on the large side of the differential piston to the outlet, said conduit or the like being equipped with a pilot valve for closing and opening of the conduit. Valves of this type may be used for irrigation purposes in agriculture.
