Further disclosed is also a method of assembling a washbasin installation arrangement (1).

A tamper-resistant frictionless connector assembly includes an outer sleeve with a first end and a second end opposite to the first end along an axis. A first sealed ring bearing has first outer ring, inner ring, and bearings, where the first outer ring is directly coupled to the outer sleeve at the first end. An inlet adapter directly coupled to the first inner ring and not directly coupled to the outer sleeve. A second sealed ring bearing has a second outer ring, inner ring, and bearings, where the second outer ring is directly coupled to the outer sleeve at a second end. An outlet adapter directly coupled to the second inner ring and not directly coupled to the outer sleeve. A thrust axial bearing abutting the inlet and outlet adapters, where the sealed ring bearings, the inlet adapter, and the outlet adapter are aligned along the axis.

A faucet includes a spout; a sprayhead that is moveable relative to the spout between a docked position and an undocked position; a magnet associated with the spout and having a bore; and a magnetically responsive collar associated with the sprayhead and moveable relative to the magnet in an axial direction as the sprayhead moves between the docked and undocked positions. In the docked position, magnetic forces between the magnet and the collar attract a center of the collar to align with a center of the magnet in the axial direction with the collar in the bore of the magnet.

Disclosed herein is an alignment tool 1 for a pipe having a bore with a central axis. The tool 1 comprises a main body 22, 32 having one end 26 conforming with an open end of the pipe in use, and an opposite end 34 having mounted thereto a sighting means, wherein the sighting means is configured to discharge a sighting beam in use coaxially with the central axis of the pipe.
