Abstract: A spray valve is disclosed for controlling and directing the flow of a fluid. The spray valve includes an integral trigger/waterway, that is movable between an open and a closed position, and a non-movable fluid seal that plugs the end of the waterway to prevent the flow of fluid. A spring normally biases the trigger to the closed position. The force needed to activate the trigger is substantially independent of the water pressure flow and is defined almost exclusively by the force needed to compress the spring. The spray valve assembly is held together by an integral snap-fit construction, eliminating the need for fasteners such as screws, pins, or the like. The spray valve includes a spray cap that provides a variety of spray patterns. At least one of the bores in the spray cap which is used to produce a coarse spray is also used to produce a mist, so that a conventional bore having a relatively small diameter for producing a mist is not required and the likelihood of clogging is reduced.
