Hot water (or cold water) having a flow rate and a temperature set by the operation handle 9 also serving as the discharge port 10
To spout water. The hot water mixer tap main body 4 includes a built-in valve 20, a hot water inflow pipe 6 and a water inflow pipe 8, and the hot water inflow pipe 6 and the water inflow pipe 8 are made of metal (bronze or brass).
It is made. A discharge pipe 13 is connected to the discharge port 10 by a joint member 14 so as to be rotatable left and right. In addition, 11 is an eccentric pipe which connects the hot water inflow pipe 6 and the hot water supply pipe 5 in communication, and 12 is an eccentric pipe which connects the water inflow pipe 8 and the water supply pipe 7 in communication.

FIGS. 3 and 4 show the cover 1 respectively.
3 is an exploded perspective view and a vertical sectional view of FIG. Hereinafter, the cover 1 will be described. The cover 1 is made of, for example, ABS resin or brass. Then, the connecting portion (hot water inflow pipe) 6 to the hot water supply pipe 5 from inside the cover 1 is connected to the eccentric pipe 11
Side of the cover 1, and a connection portion (water inflow pipe) 8 to the water supply pipe 7 from the inside of the cover 1 also protrudes toward the eccentric pipe 12.
The notch 21 and the notch 22 are provided in the
A notch 23 for allowing the hot water inflow pipe 6 to pass through the notch 21 and a notch 24 for allowing the water inflow pipe 8 to pass through the notch 22 are also provided on the back surface J of the lower half body 3.

Reference numeral 26 denotes a cylindrical rising portion, which is provided at the center of the upper surface h of the upper half body 2 and has an operation handle 9.
Has an opening 25 for exposing.

Reference numeral 27 denotes an opening provided at the center of the lower surface portion t of the lower half body 3, exposing the discharge port 10 inserted into the opening 27.

Further, the upper and lower halves 2 and 3 of the lower half 3 are provided with two upper and lower halves when the hot / water mixer body 4 is covered. Positioning means 30, 31, 3 for positioning 2, 3
