ABSTRACT:
A fluid valve for use within a valve fixture such as a kitchen faucet, lavatory faucet or shower/tub control includes a body and a seal support positioned within the body and connected thereto. The seal support has an inlet and an outlet and the body has a discharge which is in alignment with the seal support outlet. There is an annular space defined between an interior wall of the body and an exterior wall of the seal support with there being a piston movable within this annular space and being in substantial contact with the interior wall of the body and the exterior wall of the seal support. The piston has an opening movable into alignment with the body discharge and the seal support outlet to provide a water passage from the seal support inlet to the discharge. There is a valve closing seal extending peripherally about the seal support outlet and in contact with the interior of the piston.
