<p>An improved water faucet having a valve body with control elements formed by two discs wherein the first disc is stationary and has water inlet openings and an outlet opening, connected on one side to a valve manifold. The other side is directed toward the second disc, which is movably arranged on the first disc. The second disc has a surface cavity overlapping the inlet openings and outlet opening of the first disc. A noise reducing assembly including a plurality of overlapping screens is disposed within the surface cavity of the second disc. The assembly includes a plurality of overlapping screens with at least one protrusion extending from the screens into the flow passageway between the inlet and outlet openings while maintaining a free minimum passageway to thereby reduce the noise level during operation of the water faucet.</p> |
