ABSTRACT:
A single-piece tube 20 is formed to include a hub 30 at first end 26 of the tube with a spout 44 extending from the hub to a second 28 of the tube. A tapered transition surface 38 extends between the hub 30 and the spout 44. A bevel 34 is formed at the base of the hub 30 on an outer surface 22 thereof adjacent the end 26 of the tube 20. An annular bead 36 is formed on the outer surface 22 of the hub 30 at a location spaced from the bevel 34 to define a space 46 between the bevel and the bead. A pair of bends 40 and 42 are formed in spaced portions of the spout 44. In another embodiment, an annular groove 50 is formed in the outer surface 22 of the hub 30 instead of the bevel 34 and the bead 36. An O-ring 48 can be located in the space 46 or the groove 50. The single-piece tube 20 formed with the hub 30 and the spout 44 can be assembled with a water mixing facility 56.
