Abstract:
1. A fluid delivery device for connection to a hot water supply and a cold water supply, the fluid delivery device comprising: a hot water valve body having a lower portion providing a hot water fluid inlet adapted to be coupled to the hot water supply, an upper portion having an internal cavity and a hot water fluid outlet, and an internal waterway connecting the hot water fluid inlet to the hot water fluid outlet; a cold water valve body having a lower portion providing a cold water fluid inlet adapted to be coupled to the cold water supply, an upper portion having an internal cavity and a cold water fluid outlet, and an internal waterway connecting the cold water fluid inlet to the cold water fluid outlet; a v-shaped waterway component having a first conduit providing a first fluid inlet, a second conduit providing a second fluid inlet, and a fluid outlet in fluid communication with the first and second fluid inlets; a hot water valve located in the internal cavity of the hot water valve body, the hot water valve being movable between a first position wherein water from hot water supply is in fluid communication with the first conduit of the waterway component and a second position wherein water from hot water supply is not in fluid communication with waterway component; a cold water valve located in the internal cavity of the cold water valve body, the cold water valve being movable between a first position wherein water from cold water supply is in fluid communication with the second conduit of the waterway component and a second position wherein water from cold water supply is not in fluid communication with the second conduit of the waterway component; and an overmold component covering portions of the first and second conduits of the waterway component configured to hold the waterway component in a fixed position relative to the hot and cold water valve bodies when in use with a pressurized fluid with the first fluid inlet of the first conduit in fluid communication with the hot water fluid outlet of the hot water valve body and the second fluid inlet of the second conduit in fluid communication with the cold water fluid outlet of the cold water valve body, the overmold component including an aperture to receive a lift rod of a pop-up drain assembly.
