Each faucet or spout includes a valve body wit a trim set. The valve body includes a pair of tubular conduits spaced apart to extend through passages in the sink deck and a cross conduit connecting the tubular conduits. A water outlet nipple leads from the cross conduit and has a slide-on fitting located above the sink deck when the conduits are positioned to extend through the passages. The trim set includes an escutcheon, an adapter and a spout. The escutcheon has an open bottom and a spout connecting passage formed in its top surface.
