ABSTRACT:
A biasable connector structure for mixed type of faucet, which can be suitably connected with a water pipe imbedded in a wall in a resilient manner to prevent the faucet seat from being damaged and avoid leaking of water due to improper connection; the connector structure includes a hexagon nut, a spherical connector (or semispherical connector or conic connector), an O-ring, a water sealing gasket and a Z-shaped connecting pipe, whereby when assembled, the spherical connector is first extended through the hexagon nut to be screwed on the faucet seat, and then the hexagon nut is screwed with the Z-shaped connecting pipe with an inner flange of the hexagon nut forcing the spherical connector toward the Z-shaped connecting pipe, a water sealing gasket being disposed between the connecting pipe and the spherical connector, permitting the spherical connector to be biased through an angle without leaking of water.
