Abstract

A faucet including a waterway assembly fluidly coupled to a valve assembly.

Claims (24)

1. A fluid delivery device comprising:

a waterway assembly defining a longitudinal axis and including a first fluid transport component, a second fluid transport component, and an interface member coupled to an end of the first fluid transport component and an end of the second fluid transport component;

a valve assembly fluidly coupled to the interface member of the waterway assembly, the valve assembly including a first port in fluid communication with the first fluid transport component, a second port in fluid communication with the second fluid transport component, and a movable valve member configured to control the flow of water through the first port and the second port;

a primary seal positioned intermediate the waterway assembly and the valve assembly, the primary seal configured to provide a fluid seal between the first fluid transport component of the waterway assembly and the first port of the valve assembly and a fluid seal between the second fluid transport component of the waterway assembly and the second port of the valve assembly; and a secondary seal positioned laterally outwardly from the primary seal, the secondary seal configured to sealingly couple to the interface member of the waterway assembly.
2. The fluid delivery device of claim 1, further comprising:

a holder supporting the interface member of the waterway assembly; and a locking member operably coupled to the valve assembly and configured to secure the valve assembly to the waterway assembly.
3. The fluid delivery device of claim 2, wherein the secondary seal comprises an o-ring positioned radially intermediate the interface member of the waterway assembly and the locking member.
4. The fluid delivery device of claim 2, wherein the locking member comprises a sleeve operably coupled to the holder and forcing the valve assembly toward the waterway assembly.
5. The fluid delivery device of claim 1, wherein the primary seal comprises a gasket including a first loop portion surrounding the first port of the valve assembly and a second loop portion surrounding the second port of the valve assembly.
6. The fluid delivery device of claim 5, further comprising a channel formed within at least one of the upper surface of the interface member of the waterway assembly and a lower surface of the valve assembly, the gasket being received within the channel.
7. The fluid delivery device of claim 1, further comprising a sleeve receiving the interface member of the waterway assembly, wherein an annular groove is formed in at least one of the interface member of the waterway assembly and the sleeve, and the secondary seal comprises an o-ring received within the annular groove.
8. The fluid delivery device of claim 1, wherein the interface member of the waterway assembly is formed of a polymer, the first fluid transport component of the waterway assembly is formed of a polymer, and the second fluid transport component is formed of a polymer.
9. The fluid delivery device of claim 8, wherein the interface member is overmolded around ends of the first fluid transport component and the second fluid transport component.
10. A waterway assembly comprising:

an interface member including a first surface and a second surface;
a first opening extending into the first surface;

a second opening extending into the first surface;

a first seat supported by the interface member and configured to sealingly engage a face seal; and a second seat supported by the interface member and configured to sealingly engage a radial seal.
11. The waterway assembly of claim 10, further comprising a first fluid transport component fluidly coupled to the first opening, and a second fluid transport component fluidly coupled to the second opening.
12. The waterway assembly of claim 11, wherein the first fluid transport component of the waterway assembly is formed of a polymer, the second fluid transport component is formed of a polymer, and the interface member is formed of a polymer overmolded around ends of the first fluid transport component and the second fluid transport component.
13. The waterway assembly of claim 11, further comprising a support boss extending from the second surface and configured to support the first and second fluid transport components.
14. The waterway assembly of claim 10, wherein the face seal comprises a gasket including a first loop portion surrounding the first opening and a second loop portion surrounding the second opening.
15. The waterway assembly of claim 14, further comprising a channel formed within the first surface of the interface member, the gasket being received within the channel.
16. The waterway assembly of claim 10, further comprising an annular groove formed within the interface member and configured to receive the radial seal.
17. A fluid delivery device comprising:
a holder;

a waterway assembly including an interface member supported by the holder, a hot water inlet tube having a first end fluidly coupled to the interface member and a second end configured to be fluidly coupled to a hot water supply, and a cold water inlet tube having a first end fluidly coupled to the interface member and a second end configured to be fluidly coupled to a cold water supply;

a valve assembly 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 a movable valve member configured to control the flow of water through the hot water and cold water inlet ports;

a face seal positioned intermediate the waterway assembly and the valve assembly;

a locking member operably coupled to the valve assembly and configured to secure the valve assembly to the waterway assembly; and a radial seal positioned intermediate the interface member of the waterway assembly and the locking member.
18. The fluid delivery device of claim 17, wherein the face seal comprises a gasket including a first loop portion surrounding the hot water inlet port of the valve assembly and a second loop portion surrounding the cold water inlet port of the valve assembly.
19. The fluid delivery device of claim 18, further comprising a channel formed within at least one of an upper surface of the interface member of the waterway assembly and a lower surface of the valve assembly, the gasket being received within the channel.
20. The fluid delivery device of claim 17, wherein the locking member comprises a sleeve operably coupled to the holder and forcing the valve assembly toward the waterway assembly.
21. The fluid delivery device of claim 20, wherein an annular groove is formed in at least one of the interface member of the waterway assembly and the sleeve, and the radial seal comprises an o-ring received within the annular groove.
22. The fluid delivery device of claim 17, wherein the interface member of the waterway assembly is formed of a polymer, the hot water inlet tube of the waterway assembly is formed of a polymer, and the cold water inlet tube is formed of a polymer.
23. The fluid delivery device of claim 22, wherein the interface member is overmolded around ends of the hot water inlet tube and the cold water inlet tube.
24. The fluid delivery device of claim 17, wherein the face seal is configured to provide a fluid seal between the hot water inlet tube of the waterway assembly and the hot water inlet port of the valve assembly, and a fluid seal between the cold water inlet tube of the waterway assembly and the cold water inlet port of the valve assembly.
