ABSTRACT:
A faucet connector device for connecting between a water supply pipe and a faucet, comprises a connector body, a water stopper and a retaining washer. The connector body is a hollow cylinder with each of its inlet end and outlet end having an inner threaded opening for firmly connecting to the water supply pipe and the faucet respectively. Between the openings of the inlet and outlet ends of the connector body defines an axial long circular channel. One end of the channel which is adjacent to the opening of the inlet end has a countersink opening. The water stopper is disposed inside the connector body and has a solid conical stopper head having an inclined conical surface and a driving shaft extending coaxially from a smaller end of the stopper head, wherein the stopper head and the countersink opening have the same conical slant gradient. The driving shaft is disposed in the channel with the stopper head abutting against the countersink opening. Moreover, at least a water passage is formed along the length of the driving shaft for enabling water flowing from the inlet end of the connector body to the outlet end of the connector body via the passage. The retaining washer is mounted to the free end of the driving shaft so as to hold the water stopper in position. Accordingly, the faucet connector device of the present invention can simplify operations, save maintenance time and expenses and preventing wasting water.
