Everything about bathroom faucets

Bathroom faucets are available either single-piece or split set. You must make certain that your sink or countertop has the correct amount and also correct size of holes for the type you choose to purchase. Before installation, some new faucets need to be assembled, while some may have a pop-up assembly that should be removed.

Some bathroom faucets can be easy to mount while others can be more tricky, depending on the accessibility of your plumbing. If your bathroom sink is new, installation of the faucet will be easy because you can install the parts prior to mounting the sink. On the other hand, if your sink has already been installed, you must install the faucet from below.

Every year, hazardous fluctuations in the water temperature cause numerous shower injuries. To prevent such hazards such as scalding from hot water and thermal shock, the U.S. Government mandates pressure balance shower and bath tub valves in new house constructions. Pressure balance is the technology behind these new bathroom valve designs that prohibits extreme changes in water temperature.

There are other ways to prevent injuries in the shower. You should always make certain that your water heater is at 120 F or under. If you had installed a pressure balance tub/shower valve, set its high temperature limit stop to restrict the handle from being turned to dangerously hot levels.

Lastly, before you step into the shower or bath, remember to test the water with your fingers.
