Wall-mounted mixer. Types and recommendations for the selection of sanitary equipment

Every repair is a troublesome business, which is accompanied by considerable expenses. Especially if in the course of work it is necessary to establish a system of water-pressure structures. Without the elements of plumbing here is indispensable, and when it comes to wall-mounted faucets, then do not be stingy, and it's better to choose high-quality products that will not disturb the malfunctions.

Elements of sanitary ware. Their types

Rooms such as bathroom, toilet and kitchen, inherently require the presence of a water supply system. It is simply impossible to imagine the listed premises without beautiful plumbing, which will emphasize itself. These items are:

• Mixers;
• Shells;
• Shower heads;
• Toilet bowls;
• Baths;
• shower cabins.

It is the mixers that attract the eye with their appearance, non-standard form and multifunctionality. They are a highlight in the interior of the bathroom or kitchen. And they are divided into the following types:

• Compact. This type is most often used in shower cabins with a "shower-faucet" switching system.
• For Bath. A crane with one or two valves is fixed in a special hole, which was prepared in the bath in advance.
• For the sink . Just like in the bathroom, there must be a special hole for the installation of the crane.
• Wall-mounted basin mixer . The most common form, for the reason that not all baths and washbasins have a hole for installing a built-in faucet and it is installed in the wall. The same is a drawback: for its installation it is necessary to crush the walls and lay the water supply and sewerage system.

Wall-mounted mixer

The wall mixer, in turn, is classified by the length of the spouts:

• short;
• average;
• a long.

The spout has a variety of shapes and can be equipped with calico filtering. It is used for both shells and baths. It is best when choosing a wall mixer to pay attention to a double-acting faucet: it will be possible to connect both cold and hot water - for a bath this element is simply necessary. Also in the bathroom it will be convenient to use a stationary shower hose with the function of switching the water supply in the spout and in the shower head.

Multifunctionality of wall mixer

In the modern construction market and in stores specializing in plumbing, a fairly extensive range of this product. One can distinguish its multifunctionality due to the fact that the wall mixer is divided into the following types:

• Wall-mounted mixer for sink. It is intended for installation in walls, during which a water pipe is laid in the wall and, accordingly, the sewage system. But nevertheless, this element of sanitary ware looks quite aesthetically and modern. It is very convenient to carry out these works in the kitchen. Due to the fact that the space in the curbstone for the shell to be freed, you can equip it for your taste preferences and needs.
• Wall-mounted mixer for concealed wash-basin. This species is considered one of the most expensive and rare. Manufacture of this product exclusively brand manufacturers of the highest quality materials. Often you have to pre-order this type of mixer or visit hypermarkets, where the range of sanitary ware is extensive. In general, this type assumes the presence of one or two levers, which are separated from the main spout, but also built into the wall with it.
• Wall-mounted washbasin for single-lever washbasin. Among the whole range this species is considered to be the most affordable at the price and most common. The downside is that the gasket in it is quickly erased and the tap starts to let the water out of the suction hole, therefore, a regular replacement of the sanitary napkin is required.

Which mixer should be chosen: at an affordable price or for the best quality, it is up to the buyer to decide, and the article can suggest some recommendations for a better choice.
