Abstract
A faucet assembly includes a non-metallic valve body, a valve, a handle adapter, and a retaining clip. The non-metallic valve body includes a longitudinal opening disposed therein and a slot disposed within a side portion thereof. The valve is at least partially disposed within the longitudinal opening. The valve includes a body and a stem extending upwardly from the body, and the stem is configured to rotate relative to the body. The handle adapter is removably coupled to the stem and is rotatably coupled to the non-metallic valve body. The retaining clip is removably inserted into the slot of the non-metallic valve body to limit longitudinal movement of the valve within the non-metallic valve body.
