ABSTRACT:
An ablution faucet includes a wall-mounted control valve and a flexible conduit having a hand-held control unit at the end thereof. The hand-held control unit includes a body portion from which a nozzle projects, and a lever for controlling the flow of water through the nozzle. The body portion includes a piston which is always urged into engagement with a valve seat by water pressure and a piston-actuating member engageable by the lever. Various alternative embodiments of the piston and piston-actuating member are disclosed. The wall-mounted control valve also includes a piston which is biased to a valve-closed position by water pressure, as well as a vacuum breaker. An alternative embodiment of the invention employs a cable disposed within the hose and connected in valve-actuating relationship between the lever and the wall-mounted control valve. With this embodiment of the invention, actuation of the lever actuates the wall-mounted control valve, thereby avoiding the need for manually controlling the wall-mounted control valve.
