Abstract:
A faucet that includes a housing, a first valve, a handle body, a handle, and a second valve. The first valve is disposed at least in part within the housing and controls one of a flow rate and a temperature. The handle body has an elongated base, which extends from the housing along a longitudinal axis and is operatively coupled to the first valve, such that rotation of handle body about the longitudinal axis relative to the housing controls the first valve. The handle extends from the base along a radial axis relative to the longitudinal axis. The second valve is disposed at least in part within the handle and controls the other of the flow rate and the temperature, the second valve operatively couples the handle to the base, such that rotation of the handle about the radial axis relative to the handle body controls the second valve.
