Abstract
Disclosed is a mixing faucet assembly (), which comprises: a mixing valve unit () having at least two valve inlet ports (), a operating rod () and a valve outlet port (); a faucet body () having at least two water-feed passages (), and a valve unit-receiving recess () containing the mixing valve unit in such a manner as to receive mixture of hot and cold water discharged from the valve outlet port; a spout portion () formed to extend from an upper end of the faucet body in an approximately horizontal direction and have a spout-portion water passage () for receiving the mixture discharged from the valve unit-receiving recess, and a spout port (); and a load-supporting portion () formed to protrude inwardly toward the inside of the valve unit-receiving recess in such a manner as to come into contact with an upper region of a lateral surface of the mixing valve unit on at least one side corresponding to a location of the spout portion to support the mixing valve unit. The present invention allows the mixing faucet assembly to be reduced in overall height dimension.
