Abstract
A faucet includes a main housing with communicating first and second chambers. A valve core is mounted in the first chamber and controls water flow from an inlet pipe to an outlet pipe mounted in the second chamber. The outlet pipe includes a bendable braided pipe. An inlet connector, sleeved with a rubber ring, is plugged into an outlet opening of the valve core. An outlet connector is plugged at the other end, with both connectors fixed by a steel sleeve. A mesh liner is detachably connected to the outlet connector. The structure permits direct mounting of the valve core on a zinc alloy faucet.
