ABSTRACT:
A three position retaining valve wherein a slide in a rotating valve element has a seal which controls the connection of the inlet to the outlet for only one of three passages in the valve element. Preferably, the body, handle, valve element and slide are plastic and the handle and valve elements are unitary. The valve element is retained in the body by a flanged retaining ring and snap ring. The flanged retaining ring also retains a stop for the slide in the valve element. The handle includes a race and recesses cooperating with a stop and detent respectively on the body for the three positions.
