ABSTRACT:
A drop-in faucet valve is installed from above a sink countertop. The drop-in valve includes an outer cylindrical sleeve having a diameter less than the diameter of a hole in the sink countertop. The valve itself is seated within the sleeve. The sleeve includes a water flow fitting portion such as a bottom or side fitting portion having a diameter less than or equal to the diameter of the sleeve. The water flow fitting portion engages a water flow conduit, and may include a female threaded portion engageable with a male threaded portion of a further water flow conduit such as a flexible outlet hose. The sleeve is dropped into the hole in the sink countertop. An escutcheon holds the sleeve in place above the sink countertop. A lock nut is threaded over the sleeve, up to the bottom of the countertop. The hose outlet is threaded to the outlet hole in the side fitting portion of the sleeve from under the sink.
