Look at the parts list on the manufacturer's or other websites; I've also discovered that buying the entire valve is less expensive and you get more parts.
This is not the correct diaphram. I believe what you have is out of date, but I will double-check tomorrow. Thank you for reaching out to me with your query. Sprinkler Supply of Idaho, Inc. is a company that specializes in providing irrigation supplies to businesses in Idaho +1 208-336- 3747
Go to the Richdel website to get a breakdown of your valve's parts, then compare the numbers.
I'm not sure, but I doubt it unless it's a brand-wide standard. I use it for Iritrol valves and it works great. Best of luck to you.

I decided to replace all the diaphragms after cleaning the sticky, leaky valves (pictured). So far, everything is working fine, but it might be a good idea to completely rebuild them using parts from a new, matching valve.
We were trying to fix a drainage problem with a low head and suspected the diaphragm was old or damaged. When the package arrived, it appeared to be exactly what we were looking for. There were no visible flaws, and it looked exactly like the original diaphragm we were replacing. However, after removing the valve's bonnet and replacing the diaphragm, we discovered that the product we received was slightly larger than expected and would not fit completely into the valve, allowing water to leak around the edges. Even after securing the bonnet in place in the hopes of keeping it in place, water leaked around the edges, causing the valve to leak (a problem that had not previously existed). The valve leak was resolved by replacing the product with an old diaphragm, proving that the leak was caused by this product. We were able to return it, so we gave it two stars, but the product itself should be avoided if they're all too big.
This diaphragm is a little bigger than the one in my decades-old Irritrol 2400T, but it fixed the lid leak.
I bought 6 of these for my 20-year-old Richdel 2400s, and when I turned on the water this year, most of them were leaking. After some research, I discovered that the disphragms were most likely the problem, so I decided to replace them all, and now there are no leaks at all. I was able to avoid having to replace them entirely, which saved me a lot of time and effort.
I recently moved into a new home and had the pleasure of troubleshooting the entire 10 zone system on my own, having never worked with such equipment before. After a little YouTube research and a few parts compatibility references, I was able to get everything up and running. We live in a wonderful world where doing things yourself is much easier than it was 30 years ago.
This was purchased to replace a Lawn Genie Valve from the 54003, 54004, and 54005 series. A minor adjustment is required. I used an awl to push out the metal center ring from the bottom through the top. Replace it with the ring from your previous device. If you don't do this, your diaphragm will stop working. You'll notice that the new one has a larger opening than the old one. The solution is straightforward.
Although the replacement diaphragm performed as expected, my sprinkler head continues to leak. Although I don't believe the diaphragm is to blame, it was worth a shot to save $180 on a valve replacement.
It was a slam dunk. Easy fit.
