ABSTRACT:
A control valve for use in plumbing fittings such as shower control valves or the like includes a housing, a valve member within the housing, and a handle attached to the rotatable stem of the valve member. The handle and valve stem are rotatable relative to the housing to control discharge from the valve. There are cooperating stops on the handle and housing limiting rotation of the valve stem. The improvement comprises a device for retarding rotational movement of the handle and stem relative to the housing.
