Fluid dispensing valve and method

A valve comprising;

• a first body section;
• a second body section made of an anaerobic, reactive fluid resistant material;
• a diaphragm positioned between the first and second body section to control fluid flow through the valve;
• wherein the diaphragm is formed of a resilient material and which does not have permanent set and a non-adhesive material which does not cure the anaerobic reactive fluid.

A method of dispensing anaerobic, reactive fluids comprising the steps of:

• providing a fluid dispensing valve having at least a portion thereof made of an anaerobic, reactive fluid resistant material;
• providing a diaphragm to control fluid flow through the fluid dispensing valve;
• and wherein the diaphragm is formed of a resilient material and which does not have permanent set and a non-adhesive material which does not cure the anaerobic, reactive fluid;
• and
• dispensing the anaerobic, reactive fluid onto a surface using the fluid dispensing valve.

A fluid dispensing valve comprising:

• a fluid body section having a recessed area with adjacent port holes positioned thereon;
• a retainer block section attached to the fluid body section;
• a flat substantially uniform diaphragm contained within the recessed area of the fluid body section in interfacial contact with the adjacent port holes positioned thereon;
• an upper valve cap section having a recessed area and a bias port therein, the upper valve cap section being attached to the retainer block section;
• and wherein sufficient stress is provided to the periphery of the flat diaphragm to substantially retard the loss of pressurized fluid during pressurized fluid dispensing periods while enabling substantially planar fluid flow between the adjacent port holes positioned on the recessed flat surface of the rigid fluid body section;
• means for introducing a biasing fluid through the bias port of the upper valve cap section in a manual or programmed manner is to flex or relax the diaphragm, thereby enabling the diaphragm to control substantially planar fluid flow between the adjacent port holes;
• wherein the flat diaphragm is formed of a resilient material which does not have permanent set and a non-adhesive material which does not cure an anaerobic, reactive fluid;
• and
• wherein fluid flowing through the adjacent port holes is directed onto a surface.
