ABSTRACT:
An assembly with valves (16) and (20) that permits fluid flow through the invention when the foot pedal (13) is depressed. A mechanism engaged by depressing toe kick (11) will latch pedal (13) in a position where fluid flow continues after the foot is removed. Depressing pedal (13) while the latch is engaged, causes the latch to automatically disengage. When pedal (13) is released at this time, fluid flow will stop. The assembly is designed to be installed in the cabinet (3) under a kitchen or lavatory sink (4) with all elements concealed except part of pedal (13) and part of the latch mechanism, The assembly is compact by design and is easily installed by cutting a hole for the pedal (13) in the lowest shelf of cabinet (3), securing it with screws, and routing flexible hoses from the sources of hot and cold water to the invention, and from the invention to the hot and cold water connections of a standard faucet set (5. )
