US 2020/0165802 A1 · MODULAR TWO-PART SILLCOCK

Abstract

A two-part sillcock includes interior and exterior sillcock members selectively coupled to actuate a valve that controls fluid flow to a faucet. The interior sillcock member includes a flanged housing having an inlet, an outlet, and a valve with a stem including a coupling at the outlet end. The coupling is supported within the housing by an adapter adjacent the outlet end. The exterior sillcock member includes a flanged faucet including a handle shaft with a coupling at the inlet end. An adapter adjacent the housing outlet supports the valve stem coupling and guides and receives the faucet handle shaft coupling for engagement of the couplings. When the exterior and interior sillcock flanges are connected, the faucet handle shaft coupling is connected with the valve stem coupling, so that movement of the handle controls operation of the valve. A dual two-part sillcock includes two sillcocks connected by a mixing assembly.

Dependent claims

A modular sillcock comprising:

a first sillcock member including a housing having an inlet and an outlet, a valve, a valve drive member operably connected to the valve, and a first releasable coupling mechanism having a housing flange connected to the housing;
a second sillcock member configured for connection with the first sillcock member, the second sillcock member including a faucet having an inlet, an outlet, a handle, and a second releasable coupling mechanism having a faucet flange connected to the faucet;
and
an adapter disposed adjacent the housing outlet, the adapter releasably coupled to the housing flange,
wherein, when the second releasable coupling mechanism is coupled to the first releasable coupling mechanism, the handle operably engages the valve drive member so that movement of the faucet handle controls the operation of the valve.
