ABSTRACT:
A faucet manifold according to the invention is adapted to be mounted on a countertop over openings through which access can be had to water-conveying conduits. The manifold includes a cover in the form of a plate overlying the openings. The plate is spaced from the surface of the countertop by a skirt extending downwardly from the periphery of the plate. The plate includes three vertically oriented sleeves. Valve members are disposed in two of the sleeves and a spout assembly is connected to one of the sleeves. Water is directed into the valve-containing sleeves through tubes connected to openings formed in the sleeves. The valve-containing sleeves are connected to the spout-supporting sleeve by tubes connected to additional openings formed in the sleeves. All of the components of the manifold can be manufactured inexpensively, many of them in stamping operations. The invention eliminates the need to form parts in casting operations, thereby significantly reducing manufacturing costs.
