A dual plate backflow and breakaway check valve designed to mount above grade. The dual plate check valve includes a barrel assembly having an upper portion, a lower portion and an annular groove. An upper dual valve includes an upper front plate and an upper back plate. A lower dual valve includes a lower front plate and a lower back plate. A lower valve keeper bar moves up from between a plurality of lower valve stay tabs upon breakage of the annular groove thereby allowing the lower front plate and the lower back plate to rotate about a lower valve pin and closing the lower dual valve upon a lower barrel bevel and simultaneously allowing the upper front plate and the upper back plate to rotate about an upper valve pin and closing upon an upper barrel bevel.
