ABSTRACT:
An on/off control valve for a shower head comprised of a hollow cylindrical unit having an open first end and an open second end. The open first end is adapted for removable coupling with an existing shower line. The unit has a circular chamber formed therein inwardly of the open first end. A by-pass recess is formed within the circular chamber of the unit. A ball valve is rotatably secured within the circular chamber of the unit. The ball valve has a drainage aperture formed through a central portion thereof. The ball valve is rotatable within the circular chamber to a first position with the drainage aperture in alignment with the open first end and the open second end of the unit to facilitate the movement of water therethrough and to a second position whereby the drainage aperture is not in alignment with the open first end and the open second end of the unit thereby inhibiting the movement of water therethrough. A control mechanism is secured to a side portion of the shower head. The control mechanism is rotatable to an on position to rotate the ball valve to the first position and rotatable to an off position to rotate the ball valve to the second position.
