A drainable radial diaphragm valve includes a valve body that defines a
valve cavity, and an inlet passage and an outlet passage. The valve body
may include a valve seat at an end of the inlet passage, where the inlet
passage joins and creates a flow path into the valve cavity, and a port
at an end of the outlet passage, where the outlet passage joins and
creates a flow path from the valve cavity. A surface of the valve body
may slope from the valve seat downward to the port of the outlet passage.
A flexible diaphragm including the protruding boss may be mounted with
the boss aligned with the valve seat to contact and seal the valve seat,
and close the flow path from the inlet passage into the valve cavity when
the diaphragm is flexed to axially displace the boss toward the valve
seat.
