Abstract: A faucet having a single piece underbody comprising a unitary injection-molded structure is provided. A tubular waterway within the faucet underbody provides a leakproof path for water through the faucet to an outlet. Further, an injection molding procedure in which a tubular waterway is formed and in turn placed into a second mold, whereupon a second injection-molding is made, is provided. The procedure allows the formation of a unitary faucet underbody resistant to leakage and conducive to quick and inexpensive installation and replacement.

Abstract: A faucet handle comprises an upper portion having a top and downwardly depending skirt. A lower portion has an outer peripheral wall, an inward member, and a central sleeve for connection to handle hardware. The upper portion defines an aperture in the skirt, with the lower portion defining an outwardly biased, inwardly deflectable retention member having a part which snugly fits within the aperture. This causes the upper and lower portions to be retained in lock-together relation. The retention member is inwardly deflectable by pushing for a distance that permits unlocking and separation of the upper and lower portions.

Abstract: An improved hose reel assembly for use in storing and easily releasing a flat hose. The reel assembly comprises a base having a handle which facilitates unwinding the reel and which is also adapted for supporting the reel assembly in a hanging position. The reel assembly includes first and second nesting sockets for holding the nozzle coupling and the faucet coupling without exposure. A squeegie mechanism is included at the base for assuring that the stored hose is emptied of fluids thereby minimizing molding and rotting.
