ABSTRACT:
A flanged bushing top portion is applied to a sink or counter surface over a mounting hole with a skirt portion descending from the top portion of the flanged bushing in to the mounting hole. A tapered expansion sleeve is threaded into the skirt portion of the flanged bushing. As the tapered expansion sleeve is threaded upwards into the tapered skirt portion, the skirt expands and pressed against the inside diameter of the sink mounting hole thereby securing the flanged bushing to the sink surface. A faucet valve assembly, soap/lotion dispenser, or water dispenser is lowered into the bores of the flanged bushing and the expansion sleeve, and the valve's escutcheon collar is secured to the top of the flanged bushing by means of a lock down collar which is threaded onto the exterior threads of the flange of the flanged bushing. This secures the valve assembly, soap/lotion dispenser, or water dispenser to the flanged bushing and consequently to the sink. This same method is utilized to attach the faucet spout securely to the sink.
