ABSTRACT:
A cartridge type valve is provided. In one embodiment, the valve has an off center inlet yet still permits a rotatable engagement between a bonnet and the side walls of the lower portion of the valve cartridge. In another embodiment, post members afford a stop surface for a rotatable stem, a vertical stop for a bonnet member, as well as orientation for a stationary valve element. A right and left-hand conversion is also provided by cross-shaped projections on the end of the stem and slots in a movable valve element.
