ABSTRACT:
An improved fabricated faucet is disclosed in which no mounting screws are visible when the spout is mounted. In a preferred embodiment an under cover has a notch received on a tab within an internal surface of an upper cover to secure the two at a forward end. Screws preferably secure the two at a rearward end, which will be hidden when the spout is mounted. For longer spouts it may be preferable to use two of the notch and tab combinations spaced symmetrically about a central axis of the spout. Ribs formed on the upper cover may abut the under cover to provide additional rigidity. In another aspect of the present invention, an outlet end portion of a fluid flow line is received in an outlet port formed through the under cover. The outlet end portion has threads at an inner periphery to mount an end effector, such as an aerator or a stream straightener. A sealing ring is received at the outer periphery of the outlet end portion to provide a fluid seal between the outlet end and the under cover body. This allows the faucet spout to be utilized without internal leakage even if the end effector is removed.
