    Abstract: An alignment coupling for a faucet includes a first alignment element positionable within a faucet body. The first alignment element has a first alignment feature. The first alignment feature includes one of a projection and a tapered groove. The alignment coupling includes a second alignment element that is movable with respect to the first alignment element. The second alignment element has a second alignment feature. The second alignment feature includes the other of the projection and tapered groove. The tapered groove includes walls that extend toward each other, and wherein the walls guide the projection to a narrowest portion of the tapered groove.

    Abstract: A faucet is provided that electronically controls the flow volume and temperature of water being dispensed. The faucet illustratively includes a faucet body and a faucet handle. In some embodiments, the faucet may include a faucet body and be voice controlled. The faucet illustratively includes an inertial motion unit sensor mounted in the faucet handle to sense spatial orientation of the faucet handle. The faucet illustratively includes an electronic flow control system to adjust flow volume and temperature of water being dispensed. The faucet illustratively includes a controller configured to receive signals from the inertial motion unit sensor and control the electronic flow control system to adjust flow volume and temperature of water being dispensed based upon the position of the faucet handle.

    Abstract: A slow close faucet assembly includes a magnetic collar and a linear damper mechanism. The magnetic collar is fixedly attachable to a hose of a faucet. The linear damper mechanism has a body portion, a base portion, and a top portion. The linear damper mechanism further includes at least one damper and a damper bar. The at least one damper has a first end and a second end connected to the base portion. The linear damper bar houses a magnet and is located at the top portion of the linear damper mechanism and is connected to the first end of the at least one damper. The linear damper bar is capable of moving relative to the base portion. The magnetic collar is movable relative to the linear damper mechanism as the hose moves between a retracted position and an extended position.

    Abstract: A shower column assembly includes a shower column, and first and second shower column mounts. A showerhead is fluidically connected at a first end of the shower column, and a hand shower is fluidically connected to the shower column via a hose connection at a second end of the shower column opposite the first end. A diverter is positioned within the shower column at the supply location, and a flow selection valve is positioned offset from the diverter along a fluid path defined, at least in part, by the shower column.

    Abstract: A faucet includes a faucet body and a faucet spray head being movable from a retracted position adjacent the faucet body, and an extended position away from the faucet body. In the retracted position, the faucet spray head has at least one aligned position with the faucet body. The faucet includes an alignment coupling. The alignment coupling includes first and second alignment elements connected to the faucet body and the faucet spray head, respectively, to align the spray head with the faucet body. The faucet includes a retention coupling that is configured to retain the faucet body and the faucet spray head immediately adjacent one another. The retention coupling includes first and second retention elements connected to the faucet body and the faucet spray head, respectively. The retention coupling is separate from the alignment coupling, and at least one of the first or second retention elements is a magnet.

    Abstract: A faucet includes a faucet body and a spout attached to the faucet body and extending from the faucet body along an axis. The spout has an interior defining a fluid path. A cartridge seat is positioned within the faucet body and contacts a valve cartridge positioned offset from the axis. The valve cartridge is fluidically connected to the cartridge seat. A flexible tube fluidically connects between a fluid outlet of the cartridge seat and the spout, and is positioned entirely within a cavity formed by the faucet body and the spout.
