Abstract
The invention relates to a method and device for fixing a faucet to a mounting (), such as a worktop or a sinktop. A fixing collar () is fastened to the top surface of a mounting by turning from above one or more set screws () extending from the fixing collar () over a distance below a bottom surface of the worktop. Turning of the screw is used for raising a clamping claw (), which is in engagement with the threading of said set screw and which is steered by means of a guide () extending downward from the fixing collar and used for disallowing a rotation of the clamping claw () along with the set screw (). The bottom end of a faucet body () or its extension is fastened around the fixing collar () by expanding the fixing collar () by an actuation means, such as a screw ().
