Abstract: A bridge faucet assembly including a hot water pillar, a cold water pillar positioned in spaced relation to the hot water pillar, and a bridge fluidly coupled to the hot water pillar and the cold water pillar. A spout is supported by the bridge and includes an internal passageway. A coupler is at least partially received within the internal passageway of the spout and is configured to couple the spout to the bridge.

Abstract: A valve assembly including a valve housing defining a chamber, a thermostatic valve cartridge received within the chamber, a hot water flow control valve and a cold water flow control valve.

Abstract: A valve fitting including a mixing valve housing, a first stop valve configured to control the flow of fluid through a first inlet, and second stop valve configured to control the flow of water through a second inlet.

Abstract: A fluid filter assembly for a water dispensing faucet includes a housing assembly that is constructed and arranged to connect to a water dispensing faucet, a cover assembly that is threadedly attachable to the housing assembly for defining an interior receiving space therebetween and a replaceable filter cartridge installed into the receiving space and being constructed and arranged for filtering a flow of water before that water is delivered to the dispensing faucet. A plurality of reed switches are utilized that are responsive to changes in magnetic flux in order to provide electronic indications of filter status. Some of these electronic indications include the filter cartridge status in terms of its useful life, when a non-approved filter cartridge is installed, when there is no filter cartridge installed, when there is a water leak within the fluid filter assembly, and when one used filter cartridge has been replaced by a new filter cartridge.
