FAUCET DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a well operable faucet device for allowing easy cleaning of portions which are normally hidden behind operation keys. SOLUTION: The faucet device 1 comprises two on-off valve units for opening/closing a flow path and a cover 9 for covering them. The on-off valve units have operation portions 7a, 8a at the upper parts for operating on-off valves built therein. The cover 9 consists of a face cover 9a located on the face of the faucet device 1 and a side cover located from side to side. In order to thrust the operation portions 7a, 8a of the on-off valve units for opening/closing operation, the operation keys 2, 3 are pivoted in a rising and falling manner to two opening portions 9s, 9t opened to the face cover 9a, respectively. A stopper provided on the operation key 2 is moved apart from an elastic locking piece and a stopper provided on the arm of the operation key 3 is moved apart from an arm insertion port, and then the operation keys 2, 3 can be largely opened.
