Preferably, a reducing portion 11 is provided on the connecting pipe 7, and the spacing between the two sides of the reducing portion 11 gradually decreases from the two ends to the middle section, so that the cross-section of the connecting pipe 7 gradually changes from a circular shape at the two ends to an elliptical shape, until the short axis of the ellipse is smaller than the interval between the first water inlet pipe 5 and the second water inlet pipe 6. This section is the middle section, and the reducing portion 11 is U-shaped, so that the middle section of the reducing portion 11 is suitable for passing through the interval between the first water inlet pipe 5 and the second water inlet pipe 6, and completing the turning directly inside the faucet 1, which makes great use of the space inside the faucet 1, and the length of the steering joint body 2 is greatly reduced, and there is no need to extend to the outside of the faucet 1, thereby greatly reducing the occurrence of the water hammer effect, ensuring the overall service life of the faucet 1, and greatly reducing the production cost.

[0025] Preferably, a card 12 is also included, and an arc-shaped notch 13 is provided at one side of the card 12. The connecting pipe 7 can be inserted into the arc-shaped notch 13 so that the upper end of the card 12 can be against the bottom end of the first connector 8. The first connector 8 and the water outlet 10 of the valve core seat 3 are plugged in, which greatly facilitates the installation of the body 2, and the arc-shaped notch 13 is semicircular, so that the card 12 can be suitable for being set on one side of the connecting pipe 7, and the contact area between the upper end of the card 12 and the bottom end of the first connector 8 is greatly increased, ensuring that it can be stably fixed in the water outlet 10, stably withstand the impact when the water flow enters the connecting pipe 7, and is also very convenient to install.

[0026] Preferably, the card 12 is vertically penetrated with a connection hole 14 for being fixed in the faucet 1 by bolt connection. Among them, since the first connector 8 is axially arranged at the water outlet 10, a vertical bolt hole is arranged in the faucet 1 corresponding to the connection hole 14, so that when the card 12 is installed, the bolt is tightened from bottom to top, and the card 12 can be tightly pressed against the bottom end of the first connector 8, ensuring that the first connector 8 and the water outlet 10 are stably connected.

[0027] Preferably, a block 15 is provided on the outside of the input end of the water outlet pipe group 4, and a slot 16 is provided on the end of the second connector 9.
