WATER FLOW CONTROL ASSEMBLY
20220275880 · 2022-09-01 ·

An apparatus and kit are provided for remotely controlling the flow of a valve in a faucet or shower. The user may remotely control flow by actuating a foot pedal, which pulls a cable causing the valve to open. When the cable is released, springs force the valve closed. Temperature may be remotely controlled as well by the actuation of a separate foot pedal, in which rotation of the foot pedal is transferred by cables to cause rotation of the valve and the corresponding temperature change of the flow.
