Design features of bronze mixers

Such plumbing equipment is made of brass, and on top of it is plated with a layer of bronze.

- resistance to aggressive chemical environment of water supply systems and temperature differences;
- the ability to combine a bath faucet with a shower;
- the ability to maintain an attractive appearance for many years, because such products are coated with a durable layer of a special anti-corrosion coating.
The most important advantage of such products is that a bronze mixer for a bidet, sink in the kitchen or bathroom is able to complement the most sophisticated interiors and emphasize their aristocracy. Another design feature is the way water is supplied by showers or kitchen faucets:
- single lever system involves adjusting the temperature and strength of the water flow with one lever;
- the two-valve design of the tap has two separate mechanisms for supplying cold and hot water;
- the principle of operation of the non-contact design of the mixer for a shower, bathtub or kitchen is based on the use of an infrared sensor that responds to hand movements and stops the flow of water as soon as the hands disappear from the range of the sensor device;
- the thermostatic model of a faucet for a bathroom or a sink in the kitchen allows you to adjust the optimum water temperature, such models are very convenient when there are small children in the house.

Classification of bronze mixers by installation method
The wall-mounted method of mounting or installing the mixer on board the bathtub or jacuzzi allows you to effectively use and properly organize the space of the kitchen or bathroom.
The design features of various models provide the opportunity to choose the most suitable installation option for a shower faucet or kitchen sink.
The traditional way to install a sink faucet in the kitchen or in the bathroom involves the installation of plumbing equipment directly to the sink. At the same time, it is possible to purchase a bronze mixer for a filter for drinking water purification, which will successfully fit into the overall style of the kitchen. Installing a mixer with a long spout greatly facilitates the process of washing large cutlery, vegetables and fruits.
Installing the mixer on board the bathtub or jacuzzi can significantly save the usable space of the bathroom. In addition, a bronze mixer mounted on the side of the bathtub looks very impressive and presentable, which allows you to complement the stylistic design of the room as a whole.
The floor bath mixer is considered one of the most practical and convenient to use in a number of modern plumbing devices. If both a bathtub and a jacuzzi are installed in the room, a floor-mounted bath mixer is an ideal choice. In addition, this design allows you to hide all the water supply communications embedded in the floor of the bathroom. However, it is only appropriate to install it in large shower and bath rooms, in which it is possible to make niches in the floor for mounting a floor-mounted bath mixer.
The wall-mounted model of sanitary equipment can be used not only to supply water in the bathroom. This is a convenient and aesthetic way to provide water to the kitchen, during the installation of which all communications are built into the wall. Such wall-mounted faucets make the design of the room more rare and sophisticated. In addition, this design perfectly serves as a shower faucet. However, to install the embedded system, it is necessary to carry out special work (wall chipping), which greatly complicates the process of mounting the mixer, which is built into the wall.
The cascade mixer is considered one of the most aesthetically effective devices for supplying water to the bath. This is a new generation of sanitary equipment. Its package includes:
- mixer;
- wide crane;
- set of switches;
- shower equipment.
The mixer is mounted on board the bath and during the water supply is a wide, calmly flowing water stream. At the same time, the water flows completely silently, without splashing. All wiring installed on board the bathtub of the mixer is hidden in the space under the bathtub or jacuzzi and does not spoil the overall design. An obvious plus is that the cascade-type mixer installed on board the bath fills the bathtub or in the jacuzzi much faster than a conventional water supply device.
