Know the mixer device is not out of place, even if all the plumbing of local housing department - someone you know and do not take money services. Unpleasant breaks or leaks can occur at any time, and will have to take measures immediately. This is where to come to the aid of knowledge of the internal structure of the kitchen faucet. Even some of the differences in the structure does not scare you, because the principle of the modern mixers is about the same. The difference is felt only if instead of a new "one-armed" tap you still worth the normal dvuhventilny. It will be considered in the first place.
dvuhventilny mixer
The most simple construction, which is a housing with two taps (hot and cold water) and disposed therebetween spout. Typically, problems arise with such mixers at one of the nodes, but the procedure will result in two. Despite the unpretentious, this technique often requires repair.
Device Kitchen Faucets:
- Housing with one lower and three upper outputs.
- Bottom mount with clamping nut and the threaded bolt.
- Tap spout (spout), may be at the end of the grid-aerator.
- A pair of valve or reciprocating valves with handles.
- In the lower part of the housing is shaped sleeve with two female connectors - hoses connected thereto of cold and hot water.
About locking gate valves taps should talk more, because they are the basic working unit of the assembly. In the old Soviet-made models use simple worm axle box - when tightening the flywheel connected to it stem extends or is recessed into the body. We have set in motion an internal threaded rod, respectively, let go / clutched the lower part of the tap with a rubber seal on the end. As a result, the flow of water increases or decreases.
If the maximum pressure necessary to make several full turns of the handle, so in your kitchen blender is installed worm head parts. Disc ceramic components have a lower stroke flywheel (90 °) and more likely to occur in imported models. There already are responsible for filing a special twin rings, but their movement results in the same stock. The flow is regulated by aligned openings in the ceramic plates - each of which takes the form of a semicircle.
Poluoborotnye axle boxes are more durable, but very demanding on water quality. Their use requires a minimum of mechanical fluid ingress filtering.
Single-lever mixer
Today it is the most popular variety of cranes for the kitchen: compact, reliable and convenient. Can control the operation of the mixer with a single foot. Turning the right-left controls hot and cold streams entering the spout, and the head vertical movement of the handle varies. To understand why this is so, we explain the unit single lever mixer.
There is no longer used by axle boxes and is responsible for the work of a special cartridge. Its main element - ceramic or plastic ball with a lever, which is connected with a knob on the crane. Inside it is hollow and has three openings working: for combination with feed pipes of hot and cold water as well as access to the spout. When the joystick lateral openings ball to a greater or lesser extent the passage opening flows of different temperatures. The same thing happens when the lever moves up and down. But there is already aligned with the lumen output at the tap. In some models, the unit is replaced by a pair of restricting plates, operating on a similar principle.
To get to the ball cartridge is enough to remove the bezel blank from the joystick, pull the attachment and then simply remove the foot. Immediately below it will be clamping nut under the cover in the shape of a wide cone. It needs to be unscrewed, remove the plastic ring and rubber seal - cartridge is now easily removed from the mixer. Tap spout is seated on the thread, but can often find model ball mixer (typically designed to sink), where it is integral with the housing. However, it you do not need to shoot.
Modern kitchen faucets for more functionality may be additional elements:
- Second spout - for drinking water, passed through a filter system.
- Retractable hose with watering can, work in two modes - a shower (for washing fruits) or a continuous stream.
- Net integral filter mechanical cleaning.
- Decorative lights stream (more common in Chinese models).
These units make use of the mixer more convenient, but not very complicate its design. All shut-off valve, placed in the body, works the same way, regardless of the additional equipment.
