Plumbing Fixture Fluid Diversion Assembly
A plumbing fixture fluid diversion assembly minimizes dripping from an outlet conduit of a spout body by restricting passage of accumulated fluid through the outlet conduit. The assembly comprises a hollow spout body having an inlet conduit that carries fluid to a diversion chamber. The diversion chamber is in communication with the inlet conduit and the outlet conduit. A routing notch helps control the flow of the fluid towards a chamber opening that is disposed between the diversion chamber and the outlet conduit. The chamber opening enables passage of fluid to the outlet conduit. A flap selectively covers and uncovers the chamber opening to control dripping from the outlet conduit. The assembly generates an initial force to at least partially urge the flap towards the chamber opening for covering by pulling a cable, displacing magnet proximal to the flap, or creating a vacuum to displace the flap.
