A faucet design includes a pair of handles that may be turned relative to a spout body to control the flow of hot and cold water delivered to a spout outlet. The spout body is positioned vertically above the handles. Water is delivered into the spout body through the unique flow of water along a shaft of the handles. The unique water flow within the handles provides the freedom to position the spout body vertically above the handles.

What is claimed is: 1. A faucet comprising: a spout body for receiving a supply of a heated water and a cooler water, and mixing and delivering water to a spout outlet, said spout body being positioned at a first upper vertical position; and a pair of handles each being capable of being turned relative to said spout body to control the amount of heated and cooler water being delivered into said spout body, said handles being positioned at a second vertical position, below said first vertical position, said pair of handles each turning about an axis, said axes being spaced and parallel, and water passing through said handles, and mixing downstream of said handles, and the heated and cooler water not mixing until a location downstream of having passed through said pair of handles; wherein each said handle turns with a central shaft and water being supplied through a water supply line in said central shaft. 2. A faucet as set forth in claim 1, wherein said central shaft has a radial outer surface, and said water supply line leading through said shaft and then extending radially outwardly to said radial outer surface. 3. A faucet as set forth in claim 1, wherein said spout body is a hollow manifold for receiving said heated and cooled water and mixing said heated and cool water within said hollow manifold. 4. A faucet comprising: a spout body for receiving a supply of a heated water and a cooler water, and mixing and delivering water to a spout outlet, said spout body being positioned at a first upper vertical position; a pair of handles each being capable of being turned relative to said spout body to control the amount of heated and cooler water being delivered into said spout body, said handles being positioned at a second vertical position, below said first vertical position; each said handle turns with a central shaft, and water being supplied through a water supply line in said central shaft; each said central shaft has a radial outer surface, and said water supply line leading through said shaft and then extending radially outwardly to said radial outer surface, through a radially outwardly extending port; and said shaft extends above said radially outwardly extending outlet port, and a cap is received on each said shaft on a remote side of said spout body from each said handle. 5. A faucet comprising: a spout body for receiving a supply of a heated water and a cooler water, and mixing and delivering water to a spout outlet, said spout body being positioned at a first upper vertical position; a pair of handles each being capable of being turned relative to said spout body to control the amount of heated and cooler water being delivered into said spout body, said handles being positioned at a second vertical position, below said first vertical position; each said handle turns with a central shaft, and water being supplied through a water supply line in said central shaft; and said shafts extend into a lower face of a manifold, and is supported within a lower face of said manifold, and a water supply line extending axially through said shaft. 6. A faucet comprising: a spout body for receiving a supply of a heated water and a cooler water, and mixing and delivering water to a spout outlet, said spout body being positioned at a first upper vertical position; a pair of handles each being capable of being turned relative to said spout body to control the amount of heated and cooler water being delivered into said spout body, said handles being positioned at a second vertical position, below said first vertical position; each said handle turns with a central shaft, and water being supplied through a water supply line in said central shaft; and said water extends through the entirety of said shaft to a vertically upper end of said shaft and into a tube, said lube communicating through said spout body to said outlet. 7. A faucet as set forth in claim 6, wherein said spout body includes a removable cover for covering said tubes. 8. A faucet as set forth in claim 6, wherein said tubes extend to an outlet fitting, said outlet fitting being positioned at an outlet in said spout body. 9. A faucet as set forth in claim 8, wherein said tubes are supported in tube support structure adjacent to said fitting.
