Abstract

A shower faucet manifold assembly includes a manifold defining an inlet including first and second bores. The first bore is of a larger diameter than the second bore. Disposed within the first bore is a piston including an o-ring seal that engages the inner surface of the second bore to prevent water flow. The first and second bores are disposed along a common axis to enable manufacturing and fabrication from a common end.
