Summary:A tamper resistant aerating/laminarizing assembly includes a slotted, annular retainer piece that threads into the faucet spout or a separate spout extension so that it is recessed back from the opening and thereby hidden and difficult to operate without a special key that fits through the opening to engage the slots. The retainer supports a cartridge, containing flow modifying elements, from its downstream side, rather than from above, so that it is located almost entirely to one side of the cartridge and does not add to the overall diameter of the cartridge.
