Abstract
A shower valve assembly comprising a handle operably connected to a valve stem of a mixing valve. A limit stop is positioned between the valve stem and the handle to limit the range of motion of the handle and thereby limit the proportion of hot and cold water mixed by the valve to control the temperature of the mixed water emitted through the valve.
