Abstract
Abstract The disclosure herein is of a lavatory spout of composite construction to provide a unitary member which eliminates plating of brass castings, this being a sometimes difficult and unsatisfactory process because of inclusions in the casting, the spout hereof availing of a cover of die-cast parts which are easier to plate, cover up the brass casting, and are secured thereto by parts which make assembly feasible and produce what actually appears to be a solid, single member functionally the exact equivalent of the usual spout.
