Handwashing assembly

A handwashing assembly comprising:

• a hood at least partially encompassing a cavity, the hood comprising an aperture extending through the hood to the cavity;
• a valve structure positioned at least partially within the cavity, the valve structure receiving fluid from a fluid source through the aperture;
• and
• a lever handle with a contact surface positioned within the cavity, the lever handle operatively coupled to the valve structure, wherein pressure exerted on the contact surface of the lever handle by a user causing the lever handle to move the valve structure from:
• a first position in which the valve structure prevents the flow of the fluid through the valve structure, to
• a second position in which the valve structure permits the flow of the fluid through the valve structure.

A method comprising:

• providing a hood comprising a top wall and one or more sidewalls extending substantially downward from a perimeter of the top wall and cooperating with the top wall to define a cavity within the hood;
• creating an aperture extending through the top wall into the cavity;
• and
• positioning a valve structure at least partially within the, the value structure being configured to be fluidly coupled to a fluid source to receive a flow of fluid from the fluid source through the aperture;
• and
• operatively coupling a lever handle to the valve structure, the lever handle being configured to move the valve structure between a first position in which the valve structure prevents the flow of the fluid through the valve structure and a second position in which the valve structure permits the flow of the fluid through the valve structure;
• wherein the lever handle comprises a contact surface positioned within the cavity and configured to move toward the top wall as the valve structure moves into the second position and configured to move away from the top wall as the valve structure moves into the first position.
