ABSTRACT:
Situated on the underside of a lifting plate 24 of a bathtub lift is a value housing 40 containing an inlet valve 48 and an outlet valve 50. Both valves 48, 50 are actuated as required by a joint rocker 76 which in turn in the event of non-actuation is held by the plungers of the two valves in its neutral position. Pressure applied to one end of the rocker 76 opens the inlet valve so that the lifting plate 24 of the bathtub lift is raised. When the rocker is released 76, the inlet valve 48 closes and when the other end of the rocker 76 is pressed the outlet valve opens causing water to be discharged from the lifting hose of the bathtub lift via an outlet opening 68 in the valve housing 42.
