Abstract
A faucet assembly and method of faucet installation are provided. In one example, a faucet assembly includes a fastener including a cylindrical aperture formed, at least in part, by an interior surface that has a complementary threading to a threaded exterior surface of a shank of a faucet. The fastener is manually adjustable to change a relative posture between the interior surface and the threaded exterior surface of the shank when positioned around the shank between a first posture and a second posture. In the first posture, the interior surface is positioned away from the shank and the fastener is freely slidable along the threaded exterior surface of the shank in the first direction, and in the second posture, the portion of the interior surface including the complementary threading is adjacent to and engaged with the threaded exterior surface of the shank.
