ABSTRACT:
A single control water mixing valve assembly which includes a fixed and a movable ceramic plate mounted within a housing in contact with one another and which serve to control the flow of water from hot and cold inlet ports to an outlet port. Linear and rotary movement is transmitted from a lever through a bushing to the movable plate as the lever is turned on a radial axis within the bushing and rotated about the longitudinal axis of the lever. The fixed plate is spaced from the base and tubular resilient seals are positioned in the space and firmly held in place within the space by radial ribs. The lever is received in a channel in the bushing with the sides of the lever adjacent to the sides of the channel, so that rotation of the lever about its longitudinal axis transmits torque to the bushing which, in turn, transmits the torque to the movable plate.
