Abstract (en)
The invention relates to a water faucet for domestic outdoor use. The water faucet comprises: a faucet outlet; at least one faucet inlet; a faucet pipe fluidly coupling the faucet outlet with the at least one faucet inlet; a valve seat; a valve member positioned at the valve seat; and a flow element connected to the valve member and positioned at least partly within the faucet pipe. The valve member is shiftable from an open configuration to a closed configuration relative to the valve seat. The open configuration fluidly couples a faucet interior of the water faucet to a faucet exterior of the water faucet and the closed configuration fluidly seals the faucet interior from the faucet exterior. The invention further relates to a method of shifting a valve member, a valve assembly, and use of a valve assembly.
