ABSTRACT:
A water faucet of the type having an arcuate valve member movable between positions interconnecting a source of water and a faucet discharge and a position isolating the water source of the faucet discharge. The valve member is positioned in a valve body that includes stop means capable of bearing against the valve member to limit valve member movement between useful positions. The valve member is formed from plastic material that easily may be molded into a desired shape and includes a recess that partially receives the stop member. The periphery of the recess is lined with material having much greater hardness and resistance to wear than the plastic material of the valve member itself. The valve is molded into two mating parts with a portion of the recess included in each part. The relatively hard material is in the form of an insert that is mounted in grooves in each of the parts of the valve member and has an aperture into which extends the stop member.
