Abstract
A faucet fixation system includes a fastener configured to couple to a faucet, and a connector. The connector includes a base and a nut assembly. The base includes a bore. The nut assembly is disposed in the bore around a portion of the fastener, and includes a first locking member, which has a first threaded portion and a first actuating portion, and a second locking member, which has a second threaded portion and a second actuating portion. In a locking position of the connector, the first and second threaded portions engage threads of the fastener to prohibit relative translational movement between the connector and the fastener while allowing the connector to rotate along the threads of the fastener. In a non-locking position of the connector, the first and second threaded portions disengage the threads of the fastener to allow translational movement of the connector relative to the fastener.
