Abstract

A valve structure (10) wherein a main valve (11) is controlled by a pilot valve (15) which is normally selectively positioned by the coaction of a solenoid coil (17) and plunger (16). A manual override structure (22) is provided for selectively permitting normal control of the pilot valve by the solenoid, or causing a fast repositioning of the plunger against the action of the normal biasing spring 50 thereof.
