A faucet apparatus for mounting on sanitary fixtures such as sinks, washbasins or the like, provides simple and quick installation. The apparatus comprises a block portion inserted into a through hole made in the sanitary fixture and is adapted to protrude with a portion thereof above the sanitary fixture. A couple of passages extend through the block and are adapted to be connected below the sanitary fixture to water intake ducts, and above the sanitary fixture for supplying the faucet. The portion of the block portion protruding above the sanitary fixture is fully housed within the body of the faucet. The apparatus comprises also means for fixing the block portion to the sanitary fixture. The attachment means comprises a fixing member associated with the block and moved from an insertion position in which the fixing member is axially aligned with the hole in the sanitary fixture, and a blocking position in which the fixing member is able to engage the lower surface of the sanitary fixture in which the hole is made.
