Abstract:
Provided are internal waterway assemblies for faucets comprising a valve assembly comprising a valve water way portion, a bridge comprising a passageway therethrough in fluid communication with the valve water way portion and the bridge having a spout receiving portion having a passageway therethrough; and a spout tube configured to be positioned in the spout receiving portion of the bridge. The spout tube is in fluid communication with the passageway of the bridge and configured to deliver water out of the faucet. Internal water way assemblies are configured to couple to any one of a plurality of cover plates for a faucet, the bridge is configured to be assembled to the valve assembly in any one of a plurality of fixed angular orientations to position the spout tube to fit within an interior space of one of the any one of a plurality of cover plates.

Claim (Index 2):
An internal waterway assembly for a faucet comprising:\n a first valve assembly comprising:\n a shank defining a longitudinally extending interior passageway therein; and \n a valve water way portion positioned on an upper portion of the shank and configured to define a valve seat therein, wherein the valve water way portion has a transversely extending outlet passageway therein, and the valve seat is configured to receive fluid from a fluid source;\n a bridge comprising a first passageway therethrough in fluid communication with the outlet passageway of the valve water way portion of the first valve assembly and the bridge having a spout receiving portion having a second passageway therethrough; and \n a spout tube having an inlet end configured to be positioned in the spout receiving portion of the bridge, the spout tube open at the inlet end and in fluid communication with the second passageway and having a second outlet end for delivering water out of the faucet when in use, \n wherein the internal water way assembly is configured to couple to any one of a plurality of cover plates for a faucet, the bridge is configured to be fully assembled to the first valve assembly in any one of a plurality of fixed angular orientations with respect to the first valve assembly to position the spout tube to fit within an interior space of one of the any one of a plurality of cover plates, and at least one component in the internal water way assembly comprises a polymeric material.
