ABSTRACT:
THE FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a kitchen deck side spray and more specifically to a modular side spray which can be installed and replaced completely from above the sink deck. This enables the user to replace the exterior decorative components of the side spray without the necessity of going beneath the sink deck and disconnecting the side spray hose from the spout nipple.
The modular side spray consists of a housing, a trigger, a spray body and several internal components which provide for easy connection and removal of the side spray elements from the spray hose. The entire side spray mechanism can be easily attached to the spray hose through the use of a quick connect adapter.
