An inner pipe for a faucet with a retaining cut out includes a tubular body and a cap mountable on the body. A threaded first end is formed on the body to securely mate with a threaded socket formed in the faucet. A polygonal is formed on a second end of the body and includes a circumferential slit.

An inner pipe for a faucet with a retaining cut out includes a tubular body and a cap mountable on the body. A threaded first end is formed on the body to securely mate with a threaded socket formed in the faucet. A polygonal is formed on a second end of the body and includes a circumferential slit. The cap has a ring and a flange. The ring has a polygonal bore configured to mate with the tubular exterior and provide a limited rotational movement therebetween. The flange has a lug radially extending therefrom and configured to mate with the retaining cut out of the faucet. Two resilient elements are formed on the cap and each has a tooth to engage in the circumferential slit.

1. An inner pipe for a faucet with a retaining cutout, fitted between a gasket in a threaded socket formed in a recess of the faucet and a threaded end of a water supply pipe, comprising:a tubular body with a first end, a second end, and a passage extending between the first and second ends, the first end having an exterior thread configured to mate with the threaded socket of the faucet, and the second end having a polygonal exterior, and a threaded interior communicating with the passage and configured to mate with the threaded end of the water supply pipe, the polygonal exterior comprising a circumferential slit near a distal face of the second end, and a circumferential ridge formed at an end opposed to the distal face; and a cap having a ring, a flange and two resilient retaining elements formed in the flange and the ring, the ring defining a polygonal bore configured to mate with the polygonal exterior of the tubular body, the flange including a lug extending radially therefrom and configured to be receivable in the retaining cut out of the faucet, herein the cap is removably securable with the tubular body such that limited rotational movement between the polygonal exterior and polygonal bore allows fine adjustment of the faucet relative to the water supply pipe.
