Abstract
A valve assembly having a handle and a valve body. The valve assembly includes an indicator and a marker that denote the rotational range and position of the handle relative to the valve body. The indicator generally has a contrasting color compared to the handle to ensure visibility. The indicator can be an inlay embedded on the top side of the handle. The indicator is generally arc-shaped. The alignment of the marker and the indicator can allow users to determine an appropriate direction to rotate the handle that is within the rotational range of the handle.
