The external thread on the outer circumference of the limiting member 4 is connected to the internal thread on the lower opening 12, while the internal thread on the inner circumference facilitates the installation of a faucet, for example, installing the faucet on the countertop of the sink.
[0033] Key references Figure 3 The outer periphery of the upper opening 11 is a dome 15 integrally formed with the faucet housing 1. One end of the handle 3 is provided with a cylindrical body 31. The cylindrical body 31 covers the dome 15 and can cover the upper opening 11 inside the cylindrical body 31. The dome 15 is designed to facilitate the up and down movement and left and right rotation of the handle 3. Moreover, the dome 15 is integrally formed with the faucet housing 1 and is covered by the cylindrical body 31, making it difficult for water to enter the top of the faucet.
[0034] Furthermore, the interior of the cylinder 31 is provided with a downwardly extending mounting cylinder 32, and the top of the valve stem 21 is located inside the mounting cylinder 32. The mounting cylinder 32 and the side wall of the cylinder 31 are both provided with corresponding mounting holes 33. By cooperating with the mounting holes 33 using a pin or screw, the valve stem 21 and the handle 3 can be fixed, which facilitates the installation of the handle 3.
