Abstract
A faucet spout mounting system including a faucet spout tube, an inner adapter, and a bushing. The bushing is positioned radially intermediate the outer spout tube and the inner adapter. The inner adapter and the bushing engage to push flexible arms on the bushing against the outer spout tube, thus holding the bushing in place and compensating for tolerances in the spout mounting system.
