ABSTRACT:
A self-closing faucet includes a hollow body with a spout. The hollow body contains an integral plumbing sub-assembly that has a solenoid valve supplied by an inlet tube and connected to a spout tube that extends through the spout to an outlet opening at a remote end of the spout. An actuator assembly coupled to the housing includes a timer circuit that controls the solenoid valve to send water from the faucet for a predefined period of time. A switch triggers the timer circuit upon activation by a user operable mechanism on the faucet.
