ABSTRACT:
A vertically adjustable fixture assembly for mounting a valve and handle assembly to the exposed side of a wall or deck of a tub such as a Roman tub. The assembly comprises a hollow externally threaded receiver body adapted to receive a water inlet pipe and a water outlet pipe located on the hidden side of the wall or deck, and having valving means including valve stem means disposed in the portion thereof extending above the exposed side of the wall or deck. An internally threaded adapter is threadably received over the receiver body. The adapter is mounted within an opening in the wall or deck within one end of a flange, the other end of the flange being secured to the wall or deck. The adapter is free to rotate within the flange but is secured against axial or vertical movement relative to the deck or wall by the flange. Rotation of the adapter provides adjustment of the axial position of the receiver body relative to the wall or deck during mounting. Once the desired axial position of the receiver body is achieved the adapter is secured against further rotational movement by engagement with retainer means secured to the adapter by an internally threaded jam nut threadably received over the receiver body.
