  • Patent number: 6457191
    Abstract: A faucet has a base formed with a outwardly open cavity and a pair of confronting open outlet ports opening into the cavity. A sleeve fitted over the base at the cavity has an inner surface directed radially inward at the base, and is rotatable on the base. A spout extending radially outward from the sleeve is formed with a pair of passages each radially inward at the sleeve inner surface into the cavity. A connector in the cavity is formed with an outer surface radially confronting the sleeve inner surface, with a pair of axially oppositely directed tubular inlet nipples fitted in the outlet ports, and with respective passages extending from the nipples and opening radially outward at the outer surface level with the passages. Seals between the surfaces couple the connector to the spout fitting for joint rotation therewith and preventing fluid flow between the grooves.
