Abstract: An adjustable height housing enables a thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) with a dial permitting manual control of bathtub shower water temperature to be vertically mounted in a horizontal bathtub deck. The housing can be installed on a narrow bathtub rim yet also accommodates substantial substrate thickness of bathtub decks where required. Manual adjustment of hot and cold ring stops is performed from the top-side using only a screwdriver to gain access. The housing includes a long threaded outer sleeve which extends from near the top deck surface to the thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) cartridge body housing below, thereby accommodating any deck thickness from a 1/16 inch thick stainless steel tub edge to a compound deck construction up to 2¾ inches thick. The rotatable temperature dial is coupled to a cap rotatable by the adjustment handle which, in turn, rotates an adjustable extension shaft within the housing.

Abstract: An adjustable height showerhead is slidably removable vertically along an axis to accommodate users of differing heights. The showerhead includes a fixed inner pipe, a water inlet connection, a wall mount and an adjustable pipe sleeve. The water inlet connection provides a flow of water into the fixed inner pipe, which has ports connected with the adjustable pipe sleeve to provide water therethrough into an annular space defined by the outer wall of the inner pipe and an inner wall of the adjustable pipe sleeve, which is connected to the outlet nozzle at a distal end. A locking subassembly maintains the showerhead in a fixed position until the locking assembly is unlocked, thereby permitting slidable movement of the adjustable pipe sleeve about an axis parallel to the fixed inner pipe.

Abstract: A slide valve faucet handle operates when a user arcuately pushes or pulls the handle back and forth in one arcuate axis. A knob atop the slide valve is pushed away from the user in an arcuate fashion to increase flow or pulled toward the user to reduce or shut off flow. The slide valve includes an escutcheon/valve housing at the bottom with a manually graspable knob at the top attached to a movable cover member. The cover member, which is basically hemispherical, has a section removed at an angle to permit the movable cover to advance forward over the escutcheon/valve housing. With the knob in the upright position, the valve is closed. With the knob tilted fully back in a position of use, the slide valve is in the full open position. Intermediate positions regulate flow in a continuous linear manner as expected. There is no spring return, so the slide valve remains open where adjusted along the arcuate axis.
