Abstract
A manually actuated cartridge valve assembly () has a main body (), a valve assembly (), and an end assembly (). Disposed within an internal cavity () of the end assembly () is a rotary member () that rotates about an axis () when a handle () is manually actuated. The axis () is substantially perpendicular to the axis () of the spool valve (). The rotary member () has at least one axial end () that extends through the outer surface of the end assembly () and attaches to the handle (). The movement of the handle () defines a plane of movement (), which is selectively rotatable about the axis () to a desired orientation (). A locking member () is selectively operably associated with the end assembly () to restrict rotation of the plane of movement ().
