Mixer with shower mounted on a horizontal surface. Installing a faucet in the bathroom: device and step-by-step installation guide. For bath and sink

Mixing taps are used much more often than other plumbing equipment installed in the kitchen or bathroom, so great importance have the materials from which they are made. Metal, including brass, models are more resistant to high operating loads, so it is better to choose a faucet for an apartment in this design.

Faucet design options

Regardless of the installation location, be it a bathtub, shower, sink or bidet, faucets can be single-lever, double-lever, double-valve or touch. Single lever ones are most convenient for frequent use. When choosing a double-lever type mixer tap, pay attention to the fact that hot and cold water is supplied through different taps. Two-valve ones are more suitable for installation in the bathroom, since they will “work” there much less often than in the kitchen. Touch devices are hygienic: they turn on automatically, without touching. This type of plumbing is optimal for large families and is often used in public restrooms.

Types of horizontal mounted cranes?

In the manufacturers' catalogs you can find a decent selection of single-lever and double-valve models. Domestic and imported ones have brands touchless and elbow taps. The last two types of faucets differ not only in the mechanism for adjusting the water supply, but also in cost. Market analysis showed that touch-sensitive models are 5-35% more expensive than classic one- or two-handle taps. Rarely, there are also portion-pressure spouts. Their control mechanism is presented in the form of a button, by pressing which the user opens the water supply for 10-20 seconds. After this time, the tap turns off automatically.

Bath faucets are classified horizontal mounting not only in terms of the control mechanism. The main division of taps is carried out according to their intended purpose:

  • On the washbasin or sink

Horizontal mounting models differ in spout characteristics. It is this parameter that determines the ease of use of the model. Today we offer taps with spout lengths from 80 to 150 mm. If you have a shallow and small sink, it is better to use a faucet with a short, curved spout - there will be less splashing, it is more convenient to wash your hands and wash your face. Straight shapes of short spouts and high curved taps are more comfortable to use with deep and wide sinks. When choosing a mixer, you should also pay attention to the height of the product. Models are available from 90 to 200 mm in height. Popular model for the Milardo Cadiss CADSB00M01 washbasin.

  • On the bidet

87% of models have a horizontal mount on the side of the plumbing fixtures. Most spouts of this type are single-lever designs, although there are also decent 2-valve options. A special feature of plumbing equipment is rotary aerator, which is used to direct the flow of water. The height of the spout is always no more than 80 mm, the length can reach 120 mm, but the height of the structure itself varies from 80 to 155 mm. A convenient and reliable mixer for horizontally mounted bidets, according to consumers, is the Grohe Supra 24474 with heat-insulated handles.

  • For a bath

There are several types of taps - horizontal mixer with or without shower. Horizontal mounting models are also called built-in - the design is designed so that only plumbing fixtures can be placed on the side functional elements. Taps of this type in 80% of cases are produced with a shortened spout. This ensures the convenience of bathing and showering - the tap does not interfere, since there are no protruding structural elements. The shortened spout can have a length from 100 to 160 mm. But there are also models with a spout of over 200 mm. The height of the tap can reach 240 mm, and the height of the spout ranges from 30 to 190 mm. The model with a shower has become a convenient faucet, according to buyers. Jacob Delafon July E16043-4-CP.

Many consumers believe that a horizontal mixer is more convenient to use and practical. The models are suitable for both modern minimalist interior styles and classic ones. The design of the faucet can be any, as well as the color scheme.

  • Elements for adjusting the jet pressure.

  • Water saving aerator.
  • Possibility of adjusting the source mode.
  • Nozzles with massage properties. Such an addition can have a horizontal mixer with a shower or a hygienic watering can.

Some features of cranes with horizontal mounting type

Many consumers are convinced that faucets of this type look rustic. The statement is not true, since manufacturers offer models that look unusual in the interior and at the same time cost less than those built into the wall. For example, the Hansgrohe Metris Classic 31313000 model is a horizontal recessed mounting on the side.

The body of plumbing fixtures is made of:

  • Brass or bronze with chrome plating. Optimal material for durability and resistance to operational loads.
  • Silumin is a moisture/water resistant alloy of aluminum and silicon. Disadvantage: the material ages quickly.
  • Plastics Inexpensive and short-lived faucet models. The faucet with shower head is made of ABS plastic or reinforced plastic and has a shower.
  • Nickel alloys.
  • Ceramics.
  • Steel.

When purchasing a mixer with horizontal type installation, pay attention to all the characteristics of the plumbing equipment: the geometry of the body and the material of its production, the dimensions of the faucet (match the dimensions of the sink), water consumption and others. This is the only way to choose a comfortable and durable faucet.

1 What should you consider when choosing a faucet? Firstly, the installation method: horizontal (on the wall) or vertical (on the sink). In the case of vertical installation, examine the washbasin and bathtub: how many mounting holes it has - one, two, three or four. Measure their diameter, etc. “center-to-center distance” (from the center of one hole to the center of another). Having trouble taking measurements? — Purchase faucet models recommended by the manufacturer of bathtubs and sinks for this particular model: quite often such “pairs” are already compiled for your convenience.

2 What is the most common method of installing a mixer? The vast majority of models on the market are designed for vertical installation with one mounting hole. The mixer is mounted directly on the sink or on the countertop next to it.

Most faucet models are designed for vertical installation with one hole.

3 What you need to know about eyeliner when vertical way installation? The vast majority of mixers are universal: they can be mounted with any type of connection. The liner can be flexible (easier during installation) or rigid (considered more reliable). Flexible eyeliner is used more often. The hard one will have to be cut to length during the installation process: make sure that the chips do not get inside the tubes and then end up between the plates of the cartridge. Getting rid of it is quite simple: unscrew the aerator from the “spout”, and water will blow out the sawdust under high pressure.

4 Which types of faucets are more popular: with a lever or a valve? It's purely a matter of your taste. A mixer with a lever is easier to operate, and two-valve ones allow you to more accurately regulate the water temperature.

Two-valve mixers can be mounted on one or three holes.

5 Which faucets are the most reliable? Models with a ceramic cartridge are preferred: it (unlike a metal disk one) can withstand hundreds of thousands of switchings. Of course, the manufacturer of the faucet with a ceramic cartridge is important: a well-known brand is a guarantee of durability.

Examples of single-lever faucets with ceramic cartridges.

6 How often should the cartridge be replaced? Usually the manufacturer indicates a service life of at least 5 years. Save the instructions so that you can buy a cartridge of the required article in time for replacement, which you can do yourself.

Price. You can purchase a mixer with everything you need modern features for reasonable money, since most manufacturers use new technologies in all price segments of its products.

7 How to evaluate the convenience of a faucet? Twist and touch the lever of the selected mixer, evaluate the smoothness of its movement. Some manufacturers offer models with particularly smooth running and a wide angle of rotation of the lever and spout.

8 Which decorative coating preferable? High quality chrome plated as it stays clean longer. By the way, when installing a mixer with any coating, you should use a tool with jaws without teeth (otherwise there is a high risk of damaging the coating). Or place copper or brass or cardboard strips under the jaws.

9 What features do the best faucets have?

  • Limiter maximum and minimum temperature supplied water. This is convenient for families with children and elderly people. Maximum permissible temperature usually 38°C.
  • Water flow limiter up to 5-7 l/min.(at a normal flow rate of 14 l/min.).
  • Aerator- a nozzle on the spout that mixes water with air. The water flow becomes softer and consumption decreases. And the stream seems just as “full” as without an aerator.
  • Foot valve, raised by a lever on the mixer: the drain plug does not have to be pulled out manually.
  • Water purification filter, built into the mixer. Complements but does not replace the filter mechanical cleaning, which is desirable to have on water pipes.

A special feature of faucets with a rotary switch is the ability to evenly distribute the flow between the shower screen and the spout.

The length of the spout affects the comfort of using the faucet in the bathroom. In small bathrooms, it is more advisable to choose a faucet with an extended spout so that it can be used both directly in the bowl of the bathtub itself and in the washbasin, which is adjacent to the bathtub. If your room is spacious enough and the washbasin is located at a considerable distance from the bathroom, then there is no need for an extended spout.
