Abstract
A mounting structure for a faucet body and a shaft includes a faucet body made of a zinc alloy material, a shaft seat assembly, a shaft and a press cover. The faucet body has a vertical passage and a mounting passage. The shaft seat assembly is disposed separately from the faucet body. The shaft seat assembly includes a shaft seat located in the vertical passage and a sleeve located in the mounting passage. The shaft is inserted in the sleeve and located between the press cover and the shaft seat. The mounting structure can reduce the material cost of the faucet body and ensure the water quality and the strength of the faucet body.
