Quick connect/disconnect water faucet conduit assembly

The present invention relates to a quick connect/disconnect faucet water conduit assembly which facilitates the connection between a spout nipple and the valve bodies which control the flow of water to the spout nipple. Present practice in the installation of faucets, particularly kitchen faucets, which require a below deck water connection between the valve bodies and the spout nipple, necessitates a mechanical connection at each end of a water conduit. These may be soldered connections, or they may use a nut and a threaded end on the valve body. Either type of connection is time consuming and requires the installer to spend a considerable period beneath the sink deck. A quick connect/disconnect faucet water conduit assembly includes at least one valve body and a spout nipple. There is a water tube extending from the valve body and a water tube extending from the spout nipple. A conduit has first and second terminations and there is a quick connect adapter attached to each of the first and second terminations. There are cooperating elements on each of the tubes and the quick connect adapters for locking the tubes to the adapters to thereby attach the valve body to the spout nipple.
