Abstract

A differential pressure regulating valve is disclosed which improves sealing performance when the valve closes. The differential pressure regulating valve has a diaphragm and a guide. The guide limits the moving direction of a retainer. A projecting part and an engaging hole engage with one another and reduce deformation of the diaphragm by tolerating a relative movement between the diaphragm and the retainer. A liquid shut-off valve device is also disclosed which incorporates the differential pressure regulating valve and has stable operating characteristics.
