1. A fluid delivery device comprising:

  • a waterway assembly defining a longitudinal axis and including a first fluid transport component, a second fluid transport component, and an interface member coupled to an end of the first fluid transport component and an end of the second fluid transport component;

    a valve assembly fluidly coupled to the interface member of the waterway assembly, the valve assembly including a first port in fluid communication with the first fluid transport component, a second port in fluid communication with the second fluid transport component, and a movable valve member configured to control the flow of water through the first port and the second port;

    a primary seal positioned intermediate the interface member of the waterway assembly and the valve assembly, the primary seal configured to provide a fluid seal between the first fluid transport component of the waterway assembly and the first port of the valve assembly and a fluid seal between the second fluid transport component of the waterway assembly and the second port of the valve assembly;

    a secondary seal positioned laterally outwardly from the primary seal, the secondary seal configured to sealingly couple to the interface member of the waterway assembly;

    wherein the interface member of the waterway assembly is formed of a polymer, the first fluid transport component of the waterway assembly is formed of a polymer, and the second fluid transport component is formed of a polymer; and

    the interface member is overmolded around the end of the first fluid transport component and the end of the second fluid transport component to provide a substantially monolithic waterway assembly.
