Abstract

See full text

A single-handle faucet has a faucet housing with a mixing valve cartridge disposed therein. The valve cartridge includes a fixed sleeve and a movable stem. A two-part rising cap is connected to the valve stem. An operating handle extends through an opening in the rising cap and is pivotally connected to the sleeve. The two part rising cap is split into first and second parts which are joined along mating surfaces by cooperating pin and hole pairs. The rising cap opening is defined by adjoining slots formed in each of the first and second parts, allowing the rising cap to be assembled about a previously installed handle.
