A faucet device includes: a base member; an outer shell member; a metallic casing member that is inserted in a columnar section of the outer shell member and whose one end is fixed to the base member; a hot-water supply pipe and a cold-water supply pipe that supply hot water and cold water, respectively; a single lever cartridge provided at the other end of the casing member; connecting members provided inside the casing member, connecting the hot-water supply pipe and the cold-water supply pipe to the single lever cartridge; a fixing member fixing the single lever cartridge to the connecting members; and mechanical engagement pins. The casing member is formed of a metallic plate or pipe with a size that allows the casing member to be insertable into the columnar section of the outer shell member, and capable of retaining the connecting member in accordance with the mechanical engagement means.

Faucet device and manufacturing method therefor

The faucet apparatus arranged inside a counter along a wall surface can be made thin in a height direction, and the counter can be made thin in the height direction. The faucet apparatusincludes a cold water supply pipesupplying cold water, a hot water supply pipesupplying hot water, a water temperature control function unitcapable of mixing hot water and cold water, and a flow pathextending from the water temperature control function unit. The flow pathforms a flow path crossing partcrossing with at least any of at least the cold water supply pipe, the hot water supply pipeor a downstream side flow pathon a downstream side of the outflow path while distinguishing respective inner flow paths from each other.
