Windscreen washers / headlight washers ??

Getting my car ready for the MOT I had to "mechanically adjust" (bodge) the tubing to the windscreen washers,
Basically I had to remove from the system the two round valves under the washer jets, (not sure if they're windscreen only or connected to the headlamp wash / wipe system,)
With these "out of the circuit" everything worked fine,
Anyone know what they are please & are they still available ??

They are Non return valves. Mine got blocked, spray with loads of wd40 and try and blow through them. If that fails they are cheap on eBay
