The present disclosure relates to a valve assembly (3), in particular for use in a tire inflation system (1), the valve assembly (3) comprising: a first fluid port (7a) and a second fluid port (7b) fluidly connectable with one another via a fluid passage (8), a first valve (9) having an open position (9') and a closed position (9"), the first valve (9) in its closed position (9") blocking the fluid passage (8) and in its open position (9') unblocking the fluid passage (8), a second valve (10) having an open position (10') and a closed position (10"), the second valve (10) in its closed position (10") blocking the fluid passage (8) and in its open position (10') unblocking the fluid passage (8), and a control volume (13) fluidly connected or fluidly connectable with the first fluid port (7a) via a flow restrictor (14), wherein the first valve (9), the second valve (10) and the control volume (13) are configured such that a fluid pressure in the control volume (13) biases each of the first valve (9) and the second valve (10) towards their closed position (9", 10").
