Abstract
A faucet includes a shut-off valve between its inlet connection and its spout, and a valve operator extending below the spout so as to be engageable by a user's hand when located below the spout to receive the water discharged therefrom. The valve operator comprises a stem passing through the spout and a latching device which latches the valve in the 'on' position by one operation of the valve operator, and in the 'off' position by the next operation.
