Patent ID: 7373674

Claim:
A spout assembly adapted for connection to a water supply line extending through a hole in a wall; said spout assembly, comprising: a) a generally tubular housing having a rearward inlet and a forward outlet; b) a pipe clamp moveably secured within said housing proximate to said inlet and having a generally circular opening for receiving the water supply line; c) means for tilting said clamp to engage the water supply line, and for moving said housing rearward toward the hole in the wall subsequent to engagement of the water supply line by said clamp, whereby said movement of said housing rearward toward the hole in the wall draws the water supply line further into said housing; e) a receiver secured within said housing, said receiver comprising a generally tubular structure in axial alignment with said housing and having an open front end in communication with said outlet and a back end adapted to receive the water supply line; f) an annular seal disposed within said receiver to accept and surround the water supply line and positioned rearward of an internal shoulder formed in said receiver; and g) a compression ring sized to accept the water supply line, said compression ring disposed within said receiver rearward of said seal, wherein rearward movement of said housing toward the hole in the wall compresses said annular seal between said receiver internal shoulder and said compression ring.
