Abstract: A faucet valve of the ceramic disc type convertable from hot to cold water usage by a reassembling of the elements.

Abstract: An adjustable valve handle is disclosed which permits wide variation in location of a recessed plumbing fixture relative to the wall behind which it is placed. This wide range of adjustment is accomplished utilizing a stem over which a handle with an elongated bore is placed. Securing means in the handle permits placement of the handle at numerous locations along the stem without the necessity of cutting, breaking off or otherwise altering the stem.

Abstract: A showerhead having an axially shiftable valve means to deliver either a continuous steady water spray or an intermittent or pulsating water spray. The head has a peripheral chamber through which water flows to provide the continuous steady shower spray and an inner chamber through which the water flows to provide the pulsating shower spray. The valve means travels only 0.200 inch in shifting from the pulsating spray position to the continuous spray position. In the pulsating spray position, the valve means blocks the path of water flow through the outer chamber by a seat-seal arrangement to direct the water into and through the inner chamber. In the continuous spray position, the valve means blocks the flow of water through the inner chamber by a bore seal arrangement to direct the water path through the peripheral chamber.

Abstract: A concealed bore in a faucet handle is arranged to facilitate removal of a recessed cap on the handle covering the screw attaching the handle to the faucet stem.
