A faucet handle configured to be mounted to a mounting surface, the faucet handle comprising: a fluid supply line; a fluid return line; a valve cartridge, a first portion of the valve cartridge providing a connecting passage between the fluid supply line to the fluid return line and allowing fluid to flow from the fluid supply line to the fluid return line when the valve cartridge is in an open position; a valve body, having a first opening and a second opening, said valve body housing the first portion of the valve cartridge, wherein a second portion of the valve cartridge extends through the first opening of the valve body; and a control handle contacting the second portion of the valve cartridge, wherein the second portion of the valve cartridge is housed in an open end of the control handle, wherein when the control handle is rotated in a first direction around an axis along which the valve cartridge extends from the first portion to the second portion the valve cartridge is opened, thereby allowing fluid flow from the fluid supply line to the fluid return line, and when the valve cartridge is rotated around the axis in a second direction opposing the first direction the valve cartridge is closed, thereby preventing fluid flow from the supply line to the return line, and wherein the valve body further houses the supply line and return line, and the supply line and return line extend through the second opening, characterized in that the valve cartridge extends from the first portion to the second portion in a direction that, in use, is substantially parallel to the mounting surface, and the valve cartridge can be removed perpendicular to the axial direction of the valve body. a fluid supply line; a fluid return line; a valve cartridge, a first portion of the valve cartridge providing a connecting passage between the fluid supply line to the fluid return line and allowing fluid to flow from the fluid supply line to the fluid return line when the valve cartridge is in an open position; a valve body, having a first opening and a second opening, said valve body housing the first portion of the valve cartridge, wherein a second portion of the valve cartridge extends through the first opening of the valve body; and a control handle contacting the second portion of the valve cartridge, wherein the second portion of the valve cartridge is housed in an open end of the control handle, wherein when the control handle is rotated in a first direction around an axis along which the valve cartridge extends from the first portion to the second portion the valve cartridge is opened, thereby allowing fluid flow from the fluid supply line to the fluid return line, and when the valve cartridge is rotated around the axis in a second direction opposing the first direction the valve cartridge is closed, thereby preventing fluid flow from the supply line to the return line, and wherein the valve body further houses the supply line and return line, and the supply line and return line extend through the second opening, characterized in that the valve cartridge extends from the first portion to the second portion in a direction that, in use, is substantially parallel to the mounting surface, and the valve cartridge can be removed perpendicular to the axial direction of the valve body.
