摘要

The basin (22) is extended horizontally at the back to form a T shaped bracket (12) for fixing to the wall or standpipe. A flat shelf forming the leg of the T has a central opening (36) to take the vertical water supply connection (34, 40). A bend (48, 50, 52) is connected to the lower end (40) of this supply, and a draw off valve (54) is fitted to its free end. The valve is activated by a spring loaded or gravimetric rod (58) inside a tube (56), which swings pendulum fashion. The complete unit fits into a central opening (26) in the back (24) of the basin (22). ADVANTAGE - Simple construction, cheap and easy to install.
