ABSTRACT:
A method of manufacturing faucets and spouts, faucet inserts and faucets and spouts manufactured by the method. The faucet or spout includes an upper housing plate and a lower housing plate, a peripheral flange being provided on each of the housing plates such that the flanges mate with a seal disposed betweem them in fluid sealing relationship, the housing plates having spaced apart surfaces extending from their respective flanges to define a chamber. The faucet inserts include a valving member rotatably received within a housing member, the housing member having an internal conical surface adapted for mating engagement with an external conical surface of the valving member, the valving member having a port adapted to be reversibly aligned and misaligned with a port in the housing member for selectively allowing and shutting off fluid flow. The method includes stamping a pair of housing plates having respective male and female interfitting flanges, applying a continuous fluid seal to the outside of the male flange and inserting the male flange inside the female flange until the seal is in contact with both of the housing plates, and folding the female flange reversely inwardly about the male flange to secure the housing plates together. With this arrangement, a faucet or spout can be made utilizing the method of the invention.
