A
shuttle valve (12, 150, 230) is provided having a body (44, 152, 232) defining an interior chamber (46, 154, 234). The valve (12, 150, 230) includes inlet (16, 158, 238), outlet (18, 160, 240) and common (14, 156, 236) ports that are coupled to the body (44, 152, 232). A shuttle (48, 162, 242) is translatably disposed within the chamber (46, 154, 234) between a first position wherein the inlet (16, 158, 238) and common (14 ,156, 36) ports are fluidicly coupled and the common (14, 156, 236) and outlet (18, 160, 240) ports are fluidicly uncoupled, and a second position wherein the outlet (18, 160, 240) and common (14, 156, 236) ports are fluidicly coupled and the common (14, 156, 236) and inlet (16, 158, 238) ports are fluidicly uncoupled. A first
check valve (50) coupled to the inlet port (16, 158, 238) to permit fluid flow through the inlet port (16,158,238) into the chamber (46, 154, 234) and to prevent fluid from discharging therethrough. A second
check valve (50) is coupled to the outlet port (18, 160, 240) in a manner to permit fluid to
discharge from the chamber (46, 154, 234) through the outlet port (18, 160, 240) and to prevent fluid from flowing through the outlet port (18, 160, 240) into the chamber (46, 154, 234).
