Abstract
A quick-install mounting nut assembly for connecting a shank of a faucet to a deck with the shank having an enlarged upper portion disposed above the deck and a smaller diameter lower portion extending through an opening of the deck. A strap of the assembly is loosely disposed on the lower portion of the shank to be axially raised thereon. The strap has a pair of ears formed thereon with apertures therein. A pair of clips are connected to the ears of the strap and each has an aperture therein aligned with the apertures of the ears of the strap. Each of the clips has a clamping portion biased downwardly into engagement with the lower portion of the shank. A pair of fastener members are separately disposed through the apertures of the strap and the clips and are in threaded engagement with the clips. A pair of nuts are separately disposed upon the ears of the strap to be threadedly engaged by the fastener members. The strap is axially shifted upwardly upon the shank to cause the upper end of each of the fastener members to contact the underside of the deck whereby the fastener members are tightened upwardly upon the underside of the deck to force the clamping portions of the clip downwardly to bite and come into clamping engagement with the shank and to affix the shank in assembled position with the deck.
