A low pressure back-check valve comprising a valve housing with a fluid inlet and outlet, a valve seat, and a dual disc valve element normally biased into closed position against the valve seat by mechanical support structure within the housing. One of the dual discs is made of pure gum rubber and/or like material, while the other disc is made of semi-rigid plastic material, such as unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). The mechanical support structure includes a pair of pins spaced 180° apart. While these pins constantly hold the dual discs in biased position against the valve seat, because of the compliant construction of the dual discs, the valve can open under a very low pressure, such as 0.02 pounds per square inch.

1. A one-way check valve which comprises: a valve housing having a valve seat, valve element means within said valve housing for opening with a pressure differential of less than two inches of water and which is biased against the valve seat in a normally closed position, a pair of support pins
1. A one-way check valve which comprises: a valve housing having a valve seat, valve element means within said valve housing for opening with a pressure differential of less than two inches of water and which is biased against the valve seat in a normally closed position, a pair of support pins for holding said valve element means in said biased normally closed position, said valve element means including a flexible disc and a semi-rigid disc, said semi-rigid disc being of slightly smaller diameter than said flexible disc to reduce the chance of air bubbles clinging to the edge of the discs, said pair of support pins being within said valve housing, and these two pins being spaced 180° from each other. 2. A one-way check valve as set forth in claim 1, wherein said flexible disc is made of rubber and the semi-rigid disc is made of plastic. 3. A one-way check valve as set forth in claim 2, wherein said rubber is pure gum floating stock and said plastic is unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride film. 4. A one-way check valve as set forth in claim 1, wherein said flexible disc is made of rubber-like material and the semi-rigid disc is made of plastic. 5. A one-way check valve as set forth in claim 4, wherein said rubber-like material is silicone rubber and said plastic is unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride film. 6. A one-way check valve as set forth in claim 1, wherein said flexible disc is substantially thicker than said semi-rigid disc. 7. A one-way check valve as set forth in claim 6, wherein said flexible disc is approximately 0.030 inches in thickness, and said semi-rigid disc is approximately 0.007 inches in thickness. 8. A medical liquid back-check valve comprising: a housing having a fluid flow inlet, a fluid flow outlet and a valve seat therebetween, compliant valve means permanently biased by mechanical support means against said valve seat, said valve means formed of two different materials for effecting efficient sealing and yet permitting valve opening at a very low pressure, and said compliant valve means includes a pair of discs, one disc being of flexible, resilient material and the other disc being of semi-rigid material, said semi-rigid disc being of slightly smaller diameter than said flexible disc to reduce the change of air bubbles clinging to the edge of the discs, said mechanical support means comprises only a pair of spaced pins, each of said pins being within said valve housing, and these pins being spaced 180° from each other. 9. A medical liquid back-check valve as in claim 8, wherein said flexible, resilient material is rubber or the like, and said semi-rigid material is unplasticized plastic. 10. A medical liquid back-check valve as in claim 8, wherein said pair of discs are each substantially thinner than the width thereof, and said one disc is substantially thicker than said other disc. 11. A medical liquid back-check valve as in claim 10, wherein said one disc directly abuts said valve seat, and said other disc is between said one disc and said mechanical support means. 12. A medical liquid back-check valve as in claim 8, wherein said flexible disc is approximately 0.030 inches in thickness, and said semi-rigid disc is approximately 0.007 inches in thickness. 13. A medical liquid back-check valve as in claim 12, wherein said resilient material is silicone rubber and said plastic is unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride film.
