Diaphragm valve housing, with at least two axially extending fluid channels (10, 12) which are aligned with and converge towards each other, a partition (38) between the fluid channels (10, 12) which has a free end towards a valve chamber (32) and with its free end forms a
valve seat (26) which lies between adjacent openings (28, 30) of the fluid channels (10, 12), wherein the fluid channels (10, 12) each have a cylindrical axial section (34, 36) and a channel end section (40, 42) adjoining the axial section (36) and extending laterally and obliquely towards each other, towards the valve chamber (32) relative to the axial direction (A) of the axial sections (34, 36), which are separated by the partition (38), characterized in that the partition (38), viewed in axial longitudinal section, has a axial direction (A) flatter inclined section (44, 46) near the
valve seat (26) and an adjoining,has a steeper section (48, 50, 82, 84), wherein the inclined section (44, 46) and the steeper section (48, 50, 82, 84) are formed in longitudinal section view by a straight section, wherein the inclined section (44, 46) transitions at its lateral ends, perpendicular to the axial direction (A) and viewed in plan view of the
valve seat (26), into arcuate sections (52, 54), and wherein the arcuate sections (52, 54) transition into the steeper sections (48, 50) towards the axial section (34, 36).
