Abstract: A dual handle faucet for mixing hot and cold water for hand wash basins, bathing tubs, etc., has with actuator handles arranged axially at the opposite ends of a faucet case. A substantially cylindrical valve body is fixedly mounted axially in the faucet case. The valve body has two separate L-shaped passages, each having a radial inlet and an axial end outlet, the faces of the wall surrounding the end outlets constituting valve seats. The valve body also has a T-shaped passage with two coaxial end inlets and a common radial outlet. The radial inlets register with corresponding inlets in the faucet case. The radial outlet registers with an outlet or a mixing chamber merging into an outlet in the faucet case.
