Abstract
Water value apparatus with distal control includes at least one valve for controlling flow of water therethrough and having a movable actuator for starting and stopping the flow of water. A movable permanent magnet, disposed proximate said actuator for magnetic engagement therewith, is provided for moving the actuator between a first position stopping water flow through the valve and a second position allowing water flow through the valve. A cable, having a slidable center wire attached to the permanent magnet means and a sheath attached to the valve is connected to a manually operable lever, for operating said cable in a manner causing movement of the permanent magnet means and concomitant movement of the actuator in order to start and stop water flow through the valve.
