A top cartridge for an individual, sanitary, dual-control, shut-off valve is provided. The cartridge includes an upper stationary and a lower rotatable disk, each disk including port apertures. The disks are arranged with a defined clearance in the longitudinal direction of a driver pin. A driver is welded to the pin and includes a finger which engages the rotatable disk. The upper end of the pin is pressed within a spindle. The spindle is positioned within a bushing to prevent calcination and corrosion thereof. A seal is provided near the bottom end of the pin between the driver and the rotatable disk.
