Abstract
A dual position fastener for use in attaching a plumbing fitting having an exteriorly threaded conduit to sink decks of varying thickness has an elongated, generally cylindrical body with an interior bore. The bore is threaded. There is a radial extension at one end of the elongated body with the radial extension having oppositely facing generally parallel surfaces, which surfaces are essentially normal to the axis of the bore. One of the parallel surfaces is at the end of the fastener, with the other of the parallel surfaces being axially spaced from the one end. Each radial surface is adapted to abut the underside of a sink deck when the fastener is used in attaching a plumbing fitting. The one radial surface abuts the underside of a sink deck and the elongated body extends away from the sink deck in one position or use of the fastener, with the other radial surface abutting the underside of a sink deck and the elongated body extending toward the sink deck in a second position or use of the fastener.
