Abstract:
1. An apparatus for extending through a mounting surface and operable to interface with a water delivery fixture at a first end and a water supply source at a second end, the apparatus comprising: a first generally tubular body for interfacing with the water delivery fixture; a second generally tubular body for interfacing with the water supply source; and a nut, wherein a portion of the nut fits in the first tubular body; wherein a portion of the first tubular body fits in the second tubular body; wherein axial displacement of the first tubular body relative to the second tubular body is operable to vary a length of the apparatus; wherein an end of the first tubular body includes a plurality of flanges; wherein the flanges are enclosed by the second tubular body if the portion of the first tubular body is placed in the second tubular body; and wherein axial displacement of the nut relative to the first tubular body in a first direction causes the flanges to flex outwardly toward an inner surface of the second tubular body to resist axial displacement of the first tubular body relative to the second tubular body.
