ABSTRACT:
In an elongate housing (12), a valve body (30) comprising two annular chambers (36) is mounted so that it can be displaced longitudinally, one each of which communicates with a connection neck of the housing (12) via a radial hole (28). In the neutral position, a further central radial hole (28), which communicates with a water inlet, is sealed against the annular chambers (36) by O-rings (38). A pivotable rocker (44) with a broad surface has two operating extensions (50) which contact the front end of the valve body (30). By swivelling the rocker (44), the central radial hole (28) can be selectively connected to communicate with each of the two outer radial holes (28).
