A check valve has a valve housing defining a first valve opening and a second valve opening. A first flapper is pivotably mounted around a first axis for rotation relative to the housing between an open position at which it permits fluid flow through the first valve opening and a closed position at which it prevents fluid flow through the first valve opening. A second flapper is pivotably mounted around a second axis for rotation relative to the housing between an open position at which it permits fluid flow through the second valve opening and a closed position at which it prevents fluid flow through the second valve opening. The first axis is spaced laterally from the second axis. A method is also disclosed.
