ABSTRACT:
A faucet housing includes a hollow copper base and at least one copper inlet conduit in communication with the hollow interior of the base. The conduit is brazed to the base with a no-lead solder so that the combination of the conduit, solder and base provides a lead-free environment for water passing therethrough. There is a hollow plastic body coaxial with the base, with the hollow interior of the body and the base together being of a size and shape to receive a faucet cartridge therein. There is an outlet opening in the body and there is a seal ring positioned between the body and the base. The body and base include interlocking structure for attaching the two together to form a lead-free faucet housing.
