ABSTRACT:
A single lever faucet valve cartridge for use within a faucet valve having hot and cold water inlets and for variably controlling the flow of water through these inlets. The valve cartridge includes a valve disc which is received in fluid tight sliding engagement over the inlets and which includes a pair of bores which can be aligned with the inlets by sliding movement of the disc to permit controlled flow of water from the inlets. The cartridge also includes a generally cylindrical cartridge body and a sealing member which are secured together in a snap fit relationship and which define a cylindrical chamber for rotatably supporting a cylindrical barrel. A lever is pivotably mounted intermediate its ends in a slot in the barrel so that it is journaled between the body member and the sealing member such that it has universal joint movement. One end of the lever protrudes from the sealing member for attachment to a faucet handle and the other end of the lever protrudes through a flat bottom wall of the cartridge body and is received in a bore in the valve disc in a snap fit relation. Movement of the lever will thus cause a sliding movement of the valve disc for alignment of the bores with the hot and cold water inlets.
