A seal member for a noncompression-type faucet valve comprises a cylindrical member having an open top and an open bottom, both of which are partially closed by inwardly directing flanges. The member is further provided intermediate its length with an external outwardly directed circumferential ridge. The seal member is intended for use in a faucet valve which has a rotatable valve stem having an inlet passage offset from the axis of rotation positioned within the bore of a valve housing that has an inlet port which is offset from the axis of the bore. Flow through an outlet tube leading from the bore is controlled by rotating the stem to move the inlet passage into and out of registry with the inlet port in the bore. |
