Claim:
1. A fluid delivery device comprising: a spout assembly including a hollow hub portion and a hollow spout outlet portion, the hub portion configured to be supported by a mounting deck and the spout outlet portion cantilevered from the hub portion and having a spout outlet configured to dispense water; a waterway assembly including a lower wall, a hot water inlet tube extending downwardly from the lower wall, a cold water inlet tube extending downwardly from the lower wall, the lower wall coupling the hot water inlet tube with the cold water inlet tube, one of a hot water receiving bore and a hot water tubular projection supported by the lower wall, and one of a cold water receiving bore and a cold water tubular projection supported by the lower wall; an adapter positioned above the lower wall of the waterway assembly, the adapter including an upper wall, an outlet passageway extending through the upper wall, one of the other of the hot water tubular projection and the hot water receiving bore supported by the upper wall, and one of the other of the cold water tubular projection and the cold water receiving bore supported by the upper wall; a fluid chamber defined between an upper surface of the lower wall of the waterway assembly and a lower surface of the upper wall of the adapter, the fluid chamber extending around the hot water tubular projection and the cold water tubular projection, wherein the outlet passageway and the spout outlet are in fluid communication with the fluid chamber; a lower radial seal supported by the waterway assembly, the lower radial seal sealing between an outer surface of the lower wall of the waterway assembly and an inner surface of the hub portion; an upper radial seal supported by the adapter, the upper radial seal sealing between an outer surface of the upper wall of the adapter and an inner surface of the hub portion; and a valve assembly supported by the adapter including a hot water inlet port in fluid communication with the hot water inlet tube, a cold water inlet port in fluid communication with the cold water inlet tube, and an outlet water port in fluid communication with the outlet passageway of the adapter, the valve assembly configured to control water flow through the hot water inlet tube and the cold water inlet tube to the fluid chamber.
