Abstract
A single-handle faucet has a valve, a connecting rod and a handle on the connecting rod which can be pivoted between an OFF position and a full ON position. The handle is movably mounted on the connecting rod. When the handle is moved to a first position, the handle is prevented from pivoting past an intermediate position between the OFF position and the full ON position. When the handle is moved to a second position, the handle can be moved to the full ON position.
