Abstract: A faucet for a waterbowl includes a control handle, a lifting seat, a valve cover, a valve body and a spindle assembly which controls the water flow on-off. The spindle assembly is provided within the valve body and the valve cover is mounted firmly the top of the valve body, with a spindle of the spindle assembly extending through the upper end of the valve cover and hinged to the lifting seat. The control handle is provided with a slidable locking mechanism to prevent the control handle from conducting pitching motion under normal state. The faucet may avoid mishandling and scalding.
