Abstract: This invention relates to a lever type faucet handle, particularly a lever type handle having an elongated arm and upstanding flag portion for elbow operation, which is readily adapted for use with valve or faucet stems of various sizes and configurations. The lever handle includes a base with a tapered interior standard size cavity into which interchangeable inserts, each of which has a broach to fit a specific valve stem spline, are placed to provide an interface between the handle and a valve stem. The handle therefore may be used for attachment to any valve stem regardless of the spline thereof provided that an appropriate insert is first placed in the handle cavity.
