Chevrolet Repair: Cant find windshield washer valve, windshield washer fluid, auto parts stores

Question
My 94 S-10 Blazer recently lost all windshield washer fluid.  The problem turned out to be what looks like a small plastic pressure valve.  This valve is inline with the fluid tubes about 1 inch down stream from the output of the washer pump.

I stopped by two local auto parts stores that both reported they did not have the part after searching their computer database.  I have just spent well over an hour searching every auto parts web site I could find and also came up empty.

I'm beginning to wonder if this is an off the shelf part (I went straight to the parts desks and didn't look for myself as to what these parts stores had out on the floor).

Any help you can provide identifying this part and telling me where I can find a replacement would be greatly appreciated.

Answer
All it is, is a simple one way check valve that prevents the washer fluid from draining back into the washer jug. You should be able to find one in any auto parts store. I probably have several in my tool box.

e-mail me a picture of it to me at:

and if I have the same style or a different style that will do the same job I will mail it to you.
