Abstract
A faucet spout assembly including a spout shell and a stream straightener insert. The spout shell includes an inlet end, an outlet end, and a waterway that extends between the inlet end and the outlet end. Water flows around the stream straightener insert and is delivered from the outlet end of the spout shell in a laminar, sheet-like column, giving the appearance of a large volume of water being dispensed from the faucet spout assembly.
