Abstract

A faucet handle assembly includes a handle having a user input portion and a shaft extending axially downwardly from the user input portion. A hub includes a side wall defining an internal chamber extending between an open upper end and an open lower end, the open upper end rotatably receiving the shaft of the handle. A push nut retains the shaft of the handle to the hub and is slidably adjustable along the shaft for axial positioning therealong. A mounting base is received within the internal chamber of the hub and secures the hub to a mounting deck.
