Abstract
A connection structure for faucet water discharge tube and faucet body and particularly an improved connection structure to resolve the problems of connecting the water discharge tube by soldering that occur to modern faucets. The faucet body has a two-step opening formed on the inner wall to couple with an outer screw coupling tube. The outer screw coupling tube is extended outside the faucet body to couple with screw threads formed on the inner wall of a water discharge tube to form a passage inside the faucet body and the water discharge tube. Assembly can be accomplished rapidly and the connection juncture is smooth. Difficult polishing process can be eliminated. Pores and defective soldering occurred in the soldering process decrease, and loss resulting from defective products is lower. Production cost can be greatly reduced and the aesthetic appeal of finished products increases.
