To allow stable flow regulation and to impart a stable check function.
A flow-in port 13 and a flow-out port 15 are formed in a case 20, and a valve element 11 for opening and closing the flow-in port 13, a plate 12 abutting to the valve element 11 in a downstream, and a compression spring 14 for pressing the valve element 11 to the flow-in port 13 via the plate 12 are arranged respectively inside the case 20. The valve element 11 comprises an elastic body, and the plate 12 is highly rigid. A cut-out 12d is formed in a portion where the plate 12 abuts to the valve element 11, water is passed through a clearance between the element 11 and the cut-out 12d, and water volume is regulated thereby in response to water pressure applied to the valve element 11.
