A water filtration system includes a faucet assembly and a filtration assembly. The filtration assembly includes a filter assembly; a filter bracket or mounting assembly for securing the filter assembly to a support surface or structure; and a filter manifold assembly including an unfiltered water inlet for connecting to an unfiltered water supply and a filtered water outlet for connecting to a valve assembly of the faucet assembly. The filter assembly interfaces with the filter manifold assembly to provide filtered water to the faucet assembly under control of the valve assembly. A filter that otherwise would not interface with the filter bracket/mounting assembly and/or the filter manifold assembly can be adapted to work in the water filtration system by using a filter adaptor assembly.

A faucet incorporating vandal resistant features is provided to limit the possibility of tampering by limiting access to the valve cartridges of the faucet. The faucet includes a valve cartridge and a handle bat operatively attached to the valve cartridge. A hub covering the valve cartridge is freely rotatable about the valve cartridge, and a mechanical fastener attaching the handle bat to the valve cartridge includes a specially-configured driver pattern.

In one embodiment, a frost-free sillcock is provided. The sillcock has a single handle which rotates to control the temperature of the discharged fluid. The handle also moves axially toward and away from a mounting surface to control the volume of fluid discharged from the sillcock. Furthermore, the sillcock has valve components disposed on the inside of the mounting surface which can be serviced from outside of the mounting surface.

A faucet spout fixture provides for spout mounting and removal from above a supporting surface such as a sink deck, without disconnection of the water supply conduits beneath the sink deck. The fixture includes a faucet spout which has a water passage and a water discharge in communication with the passage. There is a water inlet in the spout which communicates with the passage. A water supply assembly is located beneath the supporting surface and there is a spout waterway adjustably connected to the water supply assembly, which spout waterway extends into the spout water inlet. There is a clamp member adjustably mounted on the spout waterway to be positioned against and on top of the supporting surface sink deck. A spout fastener extends through an opening in the clamp member and is held in position therein by a portion of the spout waterway. The spout fastener adjustably cooperates with a threaded bore on the spout to removably fasten the spout against and on top of the supporting surface.

Modular lavatory faucet spout mounting

A faucet spout, for example a roman tub spout, includes a spout body with a water passage in the body. The water passage has a discharge end and there is a stream former positioned at the discharge end of the water passage to form water flowing from the faucet spout into a hollow water curtain. The stream former includes a centrally positioned disk defining an annular flow path with an interior wall of the water passage. The disk has arms which extend outwardly therefrom and interlock with a recess on the water passage interior wall to mount and position the stream former at the discharge end of the spout.

A sink drain assembly includes a waste plug, a drain cap and a sink seal cap. The sink seal cap is formed and adapted to be attached to a sink drain conduit and to be mounted thereon in a sink drain opening. The waste plug and drain cap are detachably secured together so that the drain cap may be removably mounted on the waste plug and when so combined the waste plug and drain cap function to control the flow of water through the sink seal cap to the sink drain conduit. The waste plug, when removed from the drain cap, functions as a tool to remove the sink seal cap, thus the waste plug performing dual functions in the assembly.
