ABSTRACT:
An improved ball valve mechanism requiring no handle for the direction and intermixing of two or more liquids. Control of liquid volume, admixing and directional output is accomplished by manipulating the spout itself which acts both as the liquid outlet and the controller. A swivel spray aerator fixture can be used to redirect the flow to any location in the sink. The configuration of the ball valve mechanism is hollow and has a hollow stem through which the admixed liquid is directed into the spout. Pins are provided in the ball valve body which engage slots in the ball valve mechanism enabling more precise control over rotation of the ball valve mechanism.
