Abstract
A vertically adjustable faucet spout includes a base formed and adapted to seat upon a sink top, escutcheon plate or the like including a downwardly-extending guide sleeve. A vertically movable post is slidably mounted in the base and sleeve for movement relative thereto. A flexible water supply conduit is connected to the post at the lower end thereof to supply water to the assembly. A spout is positioned on the upper end of the post and is seated upon the base when the post is in the fully lowered position. The spout is rotatably movable, as a unit, and is vertically adjustable. The exterior of the post has recess means thereon and there is retaining means on the base to cooperate with the recess means to position the post, and spout in a vertically raised position relative to the base. The spout is pressure balanced whereby back pressure therein caused by flow control devices on the spout will not cause undesired vertical movement thereof.
