A unidirectionally valved drip chamber, inlet port assembly useful for liquid collection containers, e.g., urinary collection bags, or other containers requiring antireflux protection is disclosed. The assembly comprises a flexible, hollow, substantially frusto-conical unidirectional valve fixedly mounted between the inlet and outlet of the assembly. The valve has a closed top and open bottom and is normally closed against a complementary substantially frusto-conical valve seat. The conical wall of the valve flexes away from the valve seat to allow liquid to flow from the inlet to the outlet. Liquid flowing from the outlet towards the inlet forces the valve more firmly against the valve seat so that the valve remains closed to such reverse or reflux flow.
