SINK MIXER 3/4 KRAFT

Product Description

A sink mixer, or mixer tap, is a single faucet that combines hot and cold water into one spout, allowing users to control both the temperature and flow of water with either one or two levers or handles. These mixers offer convenience and a sleek, modern aesthetic, unlike traditional two-handle taps, and often feature a swivel spout for added functionality. The blending of water occurs within the mixer's internal cartridge before exiting the spout, providing a consistent and user-friendly experience for a variety of tasks in kitchens and bathrooms. Key Characteristics Single Spout: The primary feature is a single spout from which water flows, unlike traditional taps with separate hot and cold spouts. Temperature Control: Users can adjust the water temperature by moving a lever or handle from side to side, controlling the ratio of hot to cold water. Flow Control: A lever or handle is used to turn the water on and off, and the amount of water can be controlled by lifting or pushing the handle. Convenience & Aesthetics: Mixer taps provide greater convenience and a modern, streamlined look that can enhance the style of a kitchen or bathroom. How it Works 1. Internal Mixing: Unlike older taps where hot and cold water mix only at the spout, a sink mixer uses an internal cartridge with separate chambers for hot and cold water. 2. Cartridge Operation: The cartridge contains discs that move in and out to regulate the water supply and blend the hot and cold water. 3. Desired Water: By manipulating the lever or handle, users can control the flow and then adjust the lateral movement to achieve the desired temperature. Variations & Features Single Lever: Operated by a single lever for both on/off function and temperature control. Dual Handles: Some models feature two handles, but these still blend the water to a single spout. Swivel Spout: A common feature, especially in kitchen sink mixers, that allows the spout to rotate, directing water to different areas of the sink. Spray Options: Some mixers include spray functions for added versatility. Finishes: Available in various finishes to match the decor of the space.
