INTRODUCTION
A bath fitting is a faucet device used for delivering water from a plumbing system. These faucets provide water control to the user in Bathing & Washbasin areas. With the help of these fixtures we can control flow of water, pressure of water and temperature of water while bathing & hand or face washing, brushing shaving etc. Certain technologies like quarter turn fittings, Single levers, Thermostatic fittings enhance the control & comfort of water usage.
It can consist of the following components: spout, handle(s), lift rod, cartridge, aerator, mixing chamber, and water inlets. When the handle is turned on, the valve opens and controls the water flow adjustment under any water or temperature condition. The faucet body is usually made of brass, though die-cast zinc and chrome-plated plastic are also used.
The majority of residential faucets are single or dual-control cartridge faucets. Some single-control types use a metal or plastic core, which operates vertically. Others use a metal ball, with spring-loaded rubber seals recessed into the faucet body. The less expensive dual-control faucets contain nylon cartridges with rubber seals. Some faucets have a ceramic-disc cartridge that is much more durable.
Faucets must comply with water conservation laws. In the United States, bath basin faucets are now limited to 2 gal (7.6 L) of water per minute, while tub and shower faucets are limited to 2.5 gal (9.5 L).
Different Types of Bathroom Fittings
Decorating your bathroom with different types of bathroom fittings is as important as decorating rest of your home. It speaks a volume about your personality. Looks are as much importance as the functional side of your bathroom. Whether you have renovated your home recently or bought a new home, after getting everything sorted out, do not try to overlook the importance of bathroom fittings that can provide your bathroom with a finished plush look. Nowadays assorted range of bathroom fittings are available that can suit any type of budget. Let us look at some of the available options:
Types and Styles of Taps
Taps are generally available in a wide variety of materials such as chrome, brass, stainless steel, gold and nickel. The most commonly used tap styles are crosshead and lever taps. The various types of taps include pedestal taps, wall mounted taps, double and single lever taps, etc.
Types of Bathroom Taps
Pillar Taps
Used on washbasins or counters. Has a vertical inlet. Combinations of two taps desired of both hot & cold water required. It is very effective in low water pressure conditions and also popular in areas of moderate climate.
This style is the most traditional design and it will fit classic and contemporary bathrooms alike. It’s also the easiest tap to install. Pillar taps are meant for baths and basins with two tap holes. The fixture has a pair of separate pillars for hot and cold water. Pillar taps are possibly the most common style of tap (particularly in the UK). They are individual taps that have their own valves to control the flow of water and fit into bath and basins that have two tap holes, one for the hot tap and one for the cold tap.
Bib Tap
Bib tap is a single faucet installed on wall having horizontal inlet; it can either give hot or cold water. Generally used as combination of two taps for hot & cold. It is installed at a height of 1145 mm from the floor in the bathing area. Long bib is used in bathing area & short bib near water closet. It is very effective in Indian conditions of low pressure & water scarcity.
Freestanding Tap
This tap design rises up from the worktop or the floor. It’s often used in a traditional bathroom but could also work in a contemporary bathroom. Freestanding tap is best for roll-top baths as well as countertop basins.
Deck Tap
This tap design features two handles with a single spout, The deck taps are smaller than freestanding or mixer tap and sits very low and flat along the rim of the bath.
Deck taps have two separate tap handles but the water will come through a single spout. The difference between Monobloc and deck taps is that deck taps are smaller and sit low and flat along the rim of the bath. Deck taps tend to create a more traditional but simple look for a bathroom but require a high hot and cold water pressure due to the fact that it is a mixer tap. Deck mounted taps are attached to the bath or basin using tap holes that have been drilled into the rim. They are the most common type of taps as they offer the easiest access for plumbing and pipes to lead the water into the tub or basin.
Monobloc Tap
This tap style dispenses both cold and hot water. The taps are typically curved or straight depending on the handle type. This design is perfect for minimalist and contemporary bathrooms. Monobloc taps can be fitted alongside a variety of different handles, including levers and capstans (more of which will be discussed further in the guide). Taps of this nature are known as ‘mixer’ taps.
