Apparatus and associated methods relate to an umbrella valve having a retention module positioned above a diaphragm plane. In an illustrative embodiment, the umbrella valve may include an umbrella valve body extending along a longitudinal axis. The body may, for example, include a diaphragm extending outwards away from the longitudinal axis and towards a proximal end. The body may, for example, include a retention module configured to engage a first side of a surface when disposed through an aperture. An outer circumference of the diaphragm may, for example, define a perimeter in a first plane. The retention module may, for example, rest above the first plane in a non-deployed mode such that, in a deployed mode, the retention module causes the umbrella valve to be preloaded with a predetermined tension. Various embodiments may advantageously enable a high pressure umbrella valve in a thin wall.
