Zusammenfassung:A self-closing faucet (10) includes a hollow body (12) with a spout (14). The hollow body contains an integral plumbing sub-assembly (45) that has a solenoid valve (30) supplied by an inlet tube (40) and connected to a spout tube (42) that extends through the spout to an outlet opening at a remote end of the spout. An actuator assembly (18) coupled to the housing includes a timer circuit (29) that controls the solenoid valve to send water from the faucet for a predefined period of time. A switch (32) triggers the timer circuit upon activation by a user operable mechanism on the faucet.
