ABSTRACT:
THE FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to kitchen deck side sprays and, more specifically, to a mounting assembly for such a side spray which prevents wobble when the side spray is at rest and not being used. More particularly, a split ring is inserted into the escutcheon which normally supports the side spray. Once so positioned, the split ring or collapsible insert reduces the size of the gap between the side spray and escutcheon to ensure the correct upright position of the side spray on the sink deck.
