ABSTRACT:
A control valve assembly for an appliance includes a control valve and a swivel garden hose type connector for releasably connecting the fluid inlet of the control valve to external plumbing. The connector is securely and permanently affixed to a mounting bracket which is affixed to the cabinet of the appliance and is adapted for connection to the external plumbing by an internal thread. The integral connection of the connector and mounting bracket isolates the torque generated in securing the external plumbing to the connector and transmits the torque via the mounting bracket to the appliance cabinet. The swivel connector provides for ease in installation and/or replacement of the control valve. A grounding strap connected at one end to the control valve and to a predetermined location of the mounting bracket physically orients the fluid outlet of the control valve to a proper position for connection to a conduit which carries fluid from the control valve to a washing chamber of the appliance.
