ABSTRACT:
This new plug type faucet valve assembly of the present invention particularly adapted for use in plumbing fixtures, for dispensing and, or mixing hot or cold water into lavatory sinks, vessel and the like, herein being disclosed. The preferred embodiment comprises a generally cylindrical body, having a vertical inlet port eccentrically placed from the bottom extending upward into a central cavity, and a horizontal discharge port through the side wall, wherein said ports are being interconnected at a right angle, by two intersecting blind bores in a cylindrical plug rotatably disposed therein to form a passageway through the faucet valve. Said plug comprise seals circumferentially disposed in respective grooves thereon, and having a trust bearing plate sealably co-acting with the inlet port seal at the bottom of said cavity, to protectively separate the planar surfaces of said plug and said cavity, forming a leak-proof connection therebetween. When rotating said plug between a fully open and closed position, said ports are apertured, causing cross-sectional changes in said passageway and restricting the flow of aqueous liquids into said discharge port therethrough.
