• a single spout (2) having a curved open end for discharging hot or boiling water and a straight length of tubing (5) extending to the opposite end thereof, a tube guide housing (1) to be affixed to the single opening in the sinktop through which said straight length of tubing (5) extends with said tube guide housing (1) having guide means (1a,1b,) to permit the straight length of tubing (5) to be vertically adjusted and clamp means (16) to permit the curved open end of said spout (2) to be retained in any vertically adjusted position relative to the sinktop, a shut-off valve (8) incorporated in said tube guide housing (1) with said valve (8) having an inlet (8a) connected to a hot water source,and an outlet (8b), a flexible hose (12) for connecting said outlet (8b) to said straight length of tubing (5) at said opposite end of said spout (2) so that said flexible hose forms a loop between said valve outlet (8b) and said straight length of tubing (5), and coupling means for rotatably coupling said flexible hose to the straight length of tubing (5) to allow the straight length of tubing (5) to rotate relative to said hose such that the spout may be turned without twisting or buckling the flexible hose (12) during rotation or vertical adjustment of the spout.
