ABSTRACT:
A removable cartridge type valve is provided which has a minimum number of parts yet affords right and left hand conversion for cold and hot water usage in the same valve. A cross shaped groove is provided on the top of the movable disk, and the stem selectively is inserted into one or the other arm of the groove. The valve also provides a secure fitment of the valve stem in the valve body through the use of a grooveless type retaining member. Further, any tendency for bottom gasket members to be forced down out of the valve housing is eliminated by the use of an L-shaped gasket. Binding is also reduced by thinning the gasket adjacent the intersection of the arms of the L on the gasket.
