The cartridge for a mixing faucet has passages for water within the base of the cartridge and these include a counterbore. This counterbore opens up to the external surface of the base of the cartridge. The counterbores contain a connecting tubular member which is reinforced by resilient devices. These resilient devices protrude slightly with respect to the cartridge and can abut against a front body. The tubular member is made of resilient elastomeric material. @(17pp Dwg.No.1/1)@
