A non-return valve, particularly adapted for a medium distributor, for example a lubricant distributor, includes a valve body having therethrough a passage for the flow therethrough of a medium. The passage has an inlet end and an outlet end. The passage further has therein a valve seat and a constricted portion. The valve body is connectable to a medium outlet for supply of medium to the inlet end of the passage. A valve closing element is positioned within the passage and is urged toward the valve seat by a spring. A connecting mechanism enables a medium line to be connected to the valve body. The connecting mechanism includes a gripping element having an inner end that is spreadable outwardly upon insertion of the medium line into the element. The gripping element extends into the outlet end of the passage with the inner end of the gripping element being located at a position inwardly beyond the constricted portion of the passage.
