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.
