axial passages 58 and 58 a as well as radial outlet ports 59 a shoulder 60 is disposed in the valve body 50 for contact with flange 61 of the slidable member 56 there is also the passage surface 63 which serves as a valve seat in combination with shoulder 60 a sealing member 65 is positioned in a groove 66 for sealing with passage surface 63 there are also end caps 67 and 68 which are threadably connected to opposing ends of the valve body 50 a head portion 69 which also forms a part of the slidable member 56 extends through the end cap 67 whereas the end cap 68 has a cavity 71 for accommodating a portion of the slidable member 56 when it is in the position shown in fig7 and 8 a spring 72 is positioned between the end cap 68 and the flange 61 for biasing the slidable member 56 in the direction of trigger handle 14 in fig6 a the valve 10 is in a first position with respect to the handle 14 in this position the spring 72 forces handle 14 via plunger 69 as will be seen from the flow arrows in fig6 a water is able to enter through the inlet 52 pass around the slidable member 56 and into the cavity 71 from there it will pass through the axial passages 58 and 58 a out the radial outlet ports 59 and into the outlet 53 accordingly at any time the mixing valve 26 is in an open position water will flow from hose 20 and through valve 10 the utilization of a valve 10 that is open when it is not compressed allows its use in conjunction with a pull out spray assembly.
