ABSTRACT:
A hot and cold water pressure regulating mixing faucet with automatic hot water shut-off in the event of cold water failure. The faucet maintains a predetermined discharge pressure less than the supply pressure regardless of the amount of water issuing from the faucet in combination with parts in a flat face slide valve surface to regulate the amount of water issuing from the faucet or the proportionate mixture of different or hot and cold water, and in combination with a concentric rotary proportioning selector valve having an axial bore containing the pressure regulator valve operable axially within the bore of the rotary selector valve. The pressure regulator valve is operable to completely shut off the hot water in the event of cold water failure. The slide valve and the rotary proportioning valve and the pressure regulating valve are coaxially concentric to each other cooperating in performing their valvular function upon the water entering the housing and discharging axially. In one form, the pressure regulator valve is also operable to partially close off the hot water inlet with a decrease in cold water pressure in order to maintain the desired mixing temperature during variations of cold water pressure.
