Abstract: A faucet configured for single-hole installation includes a center within which a connector body defining hot and cold water inlets and an outlet is supported. A pair of side bodies are attached to the center body about opposite sides of the center body. Bridges including flow paths extend between and connect each side body to the center body. A valve supported within the first side body fluidly couples the hot water inlet with the outlet via the flow path of the first bridge responsive to rotation of a handle supported by the first side body. A valve supported within the second side body fluidly couples the cold water inlet with the outlet via the flow path of the second bridge responsive to rotation of a handle supported by the second side body.

Abstract: Disclosed is a bearing configured to couple a faucet spout to a faucet body. The bearing includes a plurality of fingers extending parallel to a central axis of the bearing. The plurality of fingers is configured to engage with the faucet spout at an intermediate position between a first end of the bearing and a second end of the bearing. The fingers are configured to exert an outward pressure to the faucet spout. The fingers are also configured to compress in a substantially axial direction.

Abstract: A faucet that includes a base, a sprayhead, a flexible hose and a control arm. The base is mountable to a mounting surface. The sprayhead is movable relative to the base and is configured to emit water in at least one spray pattern. The flexible hose connects the sprayhead and the base. The control arm includes a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is pivotally connected to the base to allow rotation of the control arm relative to the base, and wherein the second end is detachably coupled to the sprayhead such that in a docked position, movement of the control arm moves the sprayhead relative to the base, and such that in a detached position, the sprayhead is movable relative to the base and the control arm.
