A FAUCET AND A METHOD OF CONNECTING A CONTROL LEVER IN A FAUCET TO A VALVE

摘要

A faucet (1) has a body (2) and a control lever (6) for operating a valve mechanism (42) provided within the body (2) of the faucet (1). The control lever (6) is pivotally connected to an outer ring (16) that is received in the upper end of the body (2). A head section (14) of the control lever (6) is flush with the upper surface (18) of the outer ring (16) in a closed position. The head section (14) of the control lever (6) is arranged to pivot within the outer ring (16) about an axis extending transversely to the body (2) to control water flow rate and is rotatable with the outer ring (16) about a longitudinal axis of the body (2) to control water temperature.
