Abstract

A water-flow guide device of faucet, which comprises a hollow space, a water outlet mounted with a positioning ring having a hole; one end thereof is riveted with a threaded connector, and then is inserted into the other end of the faucet; the other end of the water-supply pipe is riveted with a ring-shaped fastener, which is attached to the outer surface of a positioning ring; then, a washer and a bubble head are fastened to the outer end of the pipe; the other end of the water-supply pipe is connected with a T-shaped connector via a threaded connector so as to enable a cold-water valve and a hot-water valve to control the water to flow out of the water pipe without contact with the body of the faucet.

Claims
