<p>An assembly for mounting a faucet, plumbing control valve, or other plumbing fitting on a counter top or other wall is disclosed. The fitting includes an externally threaded housing (22). The fitting is mounted by a wedge lock adapter that includes a cage (18) and a ring nut (20). The cage (18) has an annular base (24) sized smaller than the mounting opening in the wall, and three wedge-shaped legs (28). The legs (28) extend upwardly from the base (2 4) through the opening to upper feet (30) extending radially outward beyond the diameter of the mounting opening. The ring nut is captured in the cage and h as an annular body with a threaded inner diameter that engages the external threads of the valve body. The ring nut has three tabs (40) extending radial ly outward between the legs such that the fitting can be secured by rotating th e fitting to drive the ring up, and thereby drive the legs outward against the inner diameter of the mounting opening.</p> |
