ABSTRACT:
A faucet comprises a base, a spout having a first free end portion for emitting fluid and a second end portion for insertion into a hole of the base, and a sealing and locking device formed at the second end portion. The sealing and locking device includes a tapered portion at the second end portion of the spout, the tapered portion having a tapered outer diameter that decreases toward the second end portion of the spout. The sealing and locking device may further include a groove formed in the spout at the second end portion, and an O-ring adapted to be seated in the groove. Alternatively, the sealing and locking device includes a groove formed in a spout, the groove having a tapered portion with a tapered outer diameter that increases toward the second end portion of the spout, and an O-ring adapted to be seated in the groove. In the alternative embodiment, the exterior surface of the spout at its second end portion, except at the tapered groove, may be straight and untapered.
