889,057. Supply fittings. MARKES & CO. Ltd., W. Aug. 2, 1960 [July 31, 1959], No. 26271/69. Class 26. In a water-supply fitting comprising a pair of passages 28, 29 connected to cold and hot water supplies so that water flowing therethrough is discharged in a single stream after leaving, a pair of tubes 37, 42 is disposed one within the other, the tube 42 communicating at one end with passage 29 of two side-by-side passages in an outlet spout 12 and at the other end with a supply connection 16 in a body 11, both ends forming liquid-tight joints with partitions 24 and 31 which prevent mingling of the water in the supply and the spout portion respectively, and the ends of the tube 37 forming liquid-tight joints with the spout 12 and body 11 and communicating with the other passage 28 and connection 15. The tubes 37, 42 may be of circular cross-section and arranged concentrically, and may be rigidly secured to the spout 12 and so associated with the body 11 that the spout 12 can be angularly adjusted about the common axis of the tubes 37, 42, which can engage the body 11 by a push-fit, sealing means 40, 44 providing liquid-tight joints therebetween. The partitions 24, 31 may include parts at right angles to the common axis to receive the tube 42. The tube 37 may be screw threaded at 10 to receive one or more nuts to secure the fitting to a sink or other support. A concentric liner tube 45 may extend through the tube 42, to provide an annular space therebetween, having liquidtight association with the spout 12 and body 11 and housing a control rod 49, connected to a waste plug of e.g. a sink and extending beyond the spout 12 so that the plug may be 'closed' or 'opened'.
