ABSTRACT:
A valve assembly comprises a valve body having an nonplanar outer surface and formed with a threaded seat opening at the surface and with a passage opening into the seat. A valve in the body supplies water through the passage to the seat and a metallic tube having a threaded inner end engaged tightly in the seat forms an extension of the passage. A decorative sleeve engaged concentrically around the tube has an inner end shaped to fit flush against the body outer surface. A retaining device is engaged between the outer end of the tube and the outer end of the sleeve for pressing the inner end of the sleeve against the body outer surface. The retainer for the tube includes a snap ring fitted to the outer end of the tube and an elastomeric washer engaged between the snap ring and the tube outer end.
