ABSTRACT:
A tool is provided for installing a faucet nut on a faucet assembly at the underside of a lavatory. The tool allows installation of the faucet nut to be performed with an electric drill, rather than manually, thereby greatly reducing the time required for installation of a faucet nut. The tool has a hollow socket and shaft which fits into the jaws of a drill chuck and a hollow socket. The shaft is attached to the blind end of the socket and the opposite, open end has a hexagonal cross section with four radial notches. The configuration of the open end is such as to accommodate a great number of the types of faucet nuts commercially employed in faucet lavatory installations. The faucet nut is initially engaged on the faucet nipple, and the tool is used to drive the faucet nut along the length of the nipple and into abutment against the underside of a lavatory. The coupling between the shaft and the socket allows limited pivotal movement therebetween, so that the drill can be manipulated to avoid obstructions beneath the lavatory.
