Abstract
A faucet assembly is mounted to a mounting deck that has a passageway extending from a first surface of the mounting deck to a second surface of the mounting deck. The faucet assembly includes a spout that emits a fluid therefrom. A base is installed on the first surface of the mounting deck and between the spout and the mounting deck. The base has a size and shape such that the base cannot pass through the passageway of the mounting deck when installed on the first surface. A mounting shank is connected to the base and is inserted in the passageway. The mounting shank having a circular outer surface having external threads thereon. A nut includes a pipe section having an inner wall with internal threads. The inner wall defines a channel that is sized to receive the mounting shank such that the internal threads of the inner wall mesh with the external threads of the mounting shank. A cantilevered arm extends from an outer wall of the pipe section. The cantilevered arm includes a threaded through-hole. An externally threaded screw is screwed through the threaded through-hole of the cantilevered arm until a distal end of the screw presses against the second surface of the mounting deck and biases the internal threads of the pipe section against the external threads of the mounting shank, thereby securing the faucet assembly to the mounting deck.
