Abstract

The inlet and discharge valves of a pump are each comprised of a circular valve plate centered in a circular cutout in a flat valve sheet. Diametrically opposed webs join the valve plate to the main body of the valve sheet and perforations in the webs provide both, spring action and allow for air passage.
