ABSTRACT:
A valve for a faucet includes a housing having two retainers and one stop extended upward from the upper peripheral edge. A control stem may control the water flowing in and out of the housing. A cap has two orifices for engaging with the retainers and includes a radially extended annular flange having a notch for engaging with the stop and for solidly securing the cap to the housing. A sealing ring is engaged between the cap and the housing for making a water tight seal between the cap and the housing and for preventing water from flowing out of the housing.
