ABSTRACT:
A connection between a handle and a valve stem is provided by a snap latch arrangement. The usual button at the top of the handle carries a dog bar that prevents the detent from releasing when the button is in place. But when the button is removed, the handle is automatically removable by upward force. No attachment screw need be manipulated. When the handle is removed, a cartridge can be removed. The cartridge includes a frontally facing segment that fits into the cylindrical contour of the valve body cup. The segment is snapped outwardly whereupon the segment, together with associated valve parts can be lifted from the valve cup for repair or replacement.
