Modular two-part sillcock

A modular sillcock that controls the flow of a fluid from a supply line associated with a building, and comprising:

• a. a first sillcock member including a housing having an inlet and an outlet connected to a housing flange, a valve disposed adjacent the housing inlet, the valve connected to a valve stem having an opposite end terminating in a valve stem coupling;
• b. a second sillcock member configured for connection with the first sillcock member, the second sillcock member including a faucet having an inlet shank releasably connected to a faucet flange, a faucet outlet and a handle, the handle connected to a handle shaft terminating in a handle shaft coupling;
• c. the faucet handle shaft coupling is configured to engage the valve stem coupling, and the faucet flange is configured to connect with the housing flange;
• and
• d. wherein, when the faucet flange is connected with the housing flange, the faucet handle shaft coupling is operably connected with the valve stem coupling so that movement of the faucet handle controls the valve.

A dual modular sillcock that controls the flow of fluids from a supply line associated with a building, and comprising:

• a. a pair of first sillcock members, each member including a housing having an inlet and an outlet connected to a housing flange, a valve disposed adjacent the housing inlet, the valve connected to a valve stem having an opposite end terminating in a valve stem key, an adapter disposed adjacent the outlet, the adapter including an adapter socket configured to support the valve stem key;
• b. a pair of second sillcock members configured for connection with a first sillcock member, each second sillcock member including a faucet having an inlet shank releasably connected to a faucet flange, a faucet outlet and a handle, the handle connected to a handle shaft terminating in a socket;
• c. the adapter socket is configured to receive the faucet handle shaft socket, the faucet handle shaft socket is configured to receive the valve stem key, and the faucet flange is configured to connect with the housing flange;
• d. wherein, when the faucet flange is connected with the housing flange, the faucet handle shaft is operably connected with the valve for movement of the faucet handle to control the valve;
• e. a mounting plate having a pair of apertures for receiving a pair of first sillcock members therethrough in spaced relation for connection of a pair of second sillcock members to the first sillcock members to form a first sillcock and a second sillcock connected to the mounting plate, each sillcock including an externally threaded spout;
• f. a mixing member for attachment to the first and second sillcocks, the mixing member including a mixer pipe having a pair of spaced inlet shanks connected to the mixer pipe and an opposed central mixing spout with an outlet, each inlet shank including a circumferential seal and a connector retaining ring;
• and
• g. each mixing member further including a pair of internally threaded connectors for connecting the inlet shanks with the externally threaded sillcock spouts, the connectors each including a shoulder on the outlet side, wherein, when the inlet shanks are inserted into the sillcock spouts, the retaining rings contact the connector shoulders and the inlet shank seals contact inner surfaces of the spouts in sealing relation, thereby constraining the mixing member inlet shanks against disengagement from the faucet spouts.
