Bath faucet with shower vertical installation. Bath faucet horizontal installation. Spout-shower switching mechanism

A bathroom faucet is one of the important plumbing items that ensures the comfort and functionality of the room. Designed for mixing hot and cold water.

There are many types of mixers available. To select the right product, the design, equipment, type of installation, type of control, additional equipment are taken into account.

What to pay attention to

Spout shape:

• arcuate the mixer is made in the form of an arc. The upper point in relation to the outlet of the spout is located higher. Additional space under the crane is formed.
• Straight. The pipe is guided horizontally or at an angle.
• Rectangular. Spout bends in one or two right angles. Such products are more difficult to manufacture, more expensive.

spout type

• Classical. The mixer is made in the form of a tube. Common to most designs. Straight, curved, corner products with a round, square, triangular section.
• cascading. Water enters through outlets (thin slots or wide chute). The result is good throughput. The original appearance of the product resembles a waterfall. But the high cost makes the device not common.

Control type

• single valve. Differs in one supply, water pressure is regulated. The temperature of the liquid does not change. Designed to supply hot or cold water only. Installed in quantities of one or two (English style, when hot and cold water are mixed in the sink).
• Double valve. Classic system of two faucets with opposite temperatures and one spout.
• single lever or joystick. The design is represented by one lever, which adjusts the temperature and pressure by turning to the sides (degrees), up and down (flow force). Models with ball valves are difficult to adjust.
• Contactless. Contact with the mixer is not required, the user raises his hands, the water automatically (sensors built in) opens. This guarantees economical consumption, but eliminates temperature control.

Shower set. The design consists of a hose or pipe with a watering can at the end. The advantage is the complete set of necessary cranes.

Mounting method

• Wall. The mixer is mounted vertically to the wall.
• Horizontal. The faucet is attached to the side of the bathtub.
• Floor. With the help of a special stand, the mixer is mounted on the floor. Used as a design solution, requires additional space in the room. convenient if the bathtub is freestanding and not near the wall.
• Embedded. The crane is mounted in a hidden way. Usually fully equipped behind the wall of the room or under the bathroom. Remain available, control panel and spout.

  This method of installation saves space, but it is not always possible to carry out a convenient tie-in due to the placement of pipes. Another difficulty will be maintenance, repair work in the event of a breakdown.

Long bow. Universal products are designed for use in the bathroom and washbasin. The flow of water is directed by changing the turn of the tap.

swivel spout. Allows you to rotate the spout and direct the flow of water into the tub or sink.

Auto switch to shower/bath. Automatically works in one direction when one faucet is closed, returns in the opposite direction to the sink. This prevents flooding in case of accidental activation of the watering can.

Housing material

• Brass. The composition is made by a combination of copper and zinc. The low price of the product gives increased strength, eliminates the occurrence of corrosion. Therefore, the material is one of the most common.
• Silumin. The alloy includes aluminum and silicon, is characterized by oxidation resistance, but is not strong enough. It is used in budget models.
• Stainless steel. The material is durable and expensive models.
• Zinc. Inexpensive but fragile material. The disadvantage of products is considered to be low corrosive qualities.
• Granite. Pleasant appearance, variety of colors is easily matched to the design of the room. The advantage of the composition is increased resistance to corrosion, strength, antibacterial properties.

Coating

• Chromium applied to a metal surface. It acquires a beautiful appearance, shine and mirror reflection. The advantages of the material are resistance to corrosion, oxidation, so it is common. The downside is that prints remain on the surface.
• Under gold. The case is covered with a yellow alloy that imitates gold. Typical for premium models.

  Resistant to oxidation, easy to get dirty, but also easy to clean.

• Chrome with granite. The design is characterized by an attractive appearance, materials are used in different parts of the equipment.
• Brass. Durable, corrosion-resistant compound with a pleasant appearance, but fingerprints remain.
• Copper. Vintage design items are made in retro style. Sometimes it is replaced by bronze, which is much cheaper.

What to ignore

• check valve. The detail stops the movement of water in the opposite direction. Actual to install in the presence of counters.
• Removable watering can. The add-on is equipped on a flexible hose.
• spring spout. The structure is made in a curved spiral with a hose inside. Original appearance and practicality (spout bends in any direction).
• bottom valve. The element closes, opens the drain hole, there is no need to mess around with plugs that are lost. The control is carried out by a button on the mixer.
• Connecting to a filter. The mixer is connected to the cleaning device. This requires two inlets and a separate faucet for filtered water.
• Neon lights. The design includes LED lamps that are placed under the spout. The lighting increases, the original design of the product improves (it looks especially original in combination with onyx). Some models change color depending on the water temperature, acting as a hint to the user.

Sometimes it seems that only professionals can install a faucet in the bathroom. Especially if this question was brought before an inexperienced owner. Everything looks complicated, incomprehensible and from this even more frightening. But you can cope with this task on your own, only having a little understanding of the intricacies of the process.

We will tell you how not to make a mistake in choosing a mixer, what parameters to look for when buying a device, and also provide step-by-step instructions for installing it.

We supplemented all stages of assembly and installation with detailed diagrams and visual photographs. For a better understanding of the process, video clips are provided with instructions for installing the crane.

The need to install a faucet in the bathroom can arise for various reasons - as a result of a full-scale repair, a breakdown of an old familiar unit, or you just want to change a boring model.

If this is one of the last two options, then it will be quite easy to deal with the issue. The main thing is to calmly deal with the device, installation features and the most common errors.

When installing a new faucet with a shower head on the wall, you need to focus on the convenience of the owner. The height of the attachment for the watering can depends on the individual needs of a particular person.

As for the variety of models, it is more expedient to choose not only a beautiful option for the sink in the bathroom, but also a comfortable one. It should be noted that in the process of washing hands and washing it is convenient to put your palms under the stream of water.

Here, the original low models with a small faucet lose by an order of magnitude - after all, it is quite inconvenient to perform daily hygiene procedures with such a faucet. A faucet without a tap is also not the best option for a washbasin, but for bath procedures it may be just right.

Having decided on an independent installation of a faucet, you first have to buy it, then prepare the necessary tools and, having unpacked the box with a new mixer, you can begin the installation process.

But first, let's talk a little more about what is used for the bathroom.

A traditional faucet usually consists of two valves that control the flow of hot and cold water into the mixing chamber. To ensure their operation, parts such as a lock washer, a special sealant - an oil seal, gaskets, axle box, a coupling with guides, a saddle are used.

All of this is in an already assembled state that does not require additional attention when installing a new faucet.

Step 1. Checking the contents of the product

Having chosen the best option for your bathroom, you will have to consider the contents of the box - open all the bags and boxes that are in the package with the purchased model.

If this is a bath faucet, then in the bag you can find a shower head, a flexible hose for it and an additional mount - a holder bar. It has to be mounted on the wall, the side of the bathtub or on the faucet body to hold the watering can.

Also a faucet with valves or a lever, which is to be connected to the rest of the parts according to the instructions. The kit necessarily includes a set of gaskets, nuts, decorative wall reflectors, transitional eccentric bushings and a spout for a tap.

Having considered all the components, it is not at all necessary to study what parts they are assembled from. It is enough to carefully screw everything, following the instructions supplied by the manufacturer in the kit.

Step #2. Necessary tools for installation

Before starting the installation, it is best to prepare all the tools and parts that may come in handy:

• a box with a mixer and all its components;
• pliers, building level, tape measure, adjustable wrench, open-end wrenches;
• linen tow and Unipack paste / silicone or special fum sealing tape;
• soft cloth/small towel, paper napkins/toilet paper.

All of these components will be needed during the installation process. It would be nice to use instruments without teeth, but if there are none, then in order not to scratch the top coating of the instruments and its parts, they should be covered with a cloth or towel.

This technique will help protect against external mechanical damage, which is especially important for home craftsmen who install the mixer for the first time.

It is convenient to prepare all the tools for installation in advance, than then constantly interrupt and go in search of the right part

Paper is useful in order to thoroughly wipe everything after installation and check if something is leaking. If so, then you have to disassemble and reassemble everything, not forgetting to screw each connection tightly and put gaskets on each nut.

Step #3 Site preparation for crane installation

Before installing the mixer, do not ignore generally accepted standards. So, if the faucet will be installed to simultaneously service the bathtub and the washstand, then, according to the standards, the installation height must be at least 1 m from the floor level.

Depending on the functions performed and the location, the height will be different:

• 80 cm from floor level- for a mixer serving a bath;
• 20 cm from the side of the washbasin- for ;
• not less than 120 cm from the floor- if .

Another point that requires attention is the installation site of the crane. Depending on it, the main installation process will differ. If this is just replacing an old faucet with a new one, then you first need to remove the old one.

In the case when repairs are to be made with the full replacement of old water pipes with new ones, you need to carefully consider where the plumbing will be installed in order to provide for the installation of water outlets in the appropriate places.

To output the fittings to which the mixer will be attached, it is necessary to carefully calculate the distance between the pipes of cold and hot water - exactly 15 cm. It is important that they are strictly horizontal with respect to each other.

Also, the fittings should not be too long - they should end flush with the bathroom cladding material or be a couple of mm smaller.

Having completed the work on the withdrawal of fittings, you can proceed to the standard installation of mixers.

Step #4 Mounting the crane on the wall

The most important thing in installing faucets yourself is not to overtighten the nuts so that nothing bursts or breaks. After all, buying new parts for a new mixer is extremely unpleasant and insulting. Therefore, there is no need to rush and tighten everything tightly - it is better to twist it a little tighter later than to run to the plumbing store.

Vertical type mixers are characterized by installation directly on the wall, from which water pipes with cold and hot water exit. Ideally, the distance between water sockets should be at least 15 cm, but almost always a persistent discrepancy can be found here.

To correct this shortcoming, special bushings-adapters - eccentrics are designed. These are such slightly curved parts that are threaded on both sides. It happens that the length of the eccentrics included with the mixer is not enough. In this case, you need to buy these longer parts separately.

The first step before starting the installation is to turn off the taps on the pipes with hot and cold water, using hands or keys of a suitable size for this - it all depends on which taps are in a particular room.

Then, after making sure that the water does not flow, you can remove the old mixer. To do this, you have to use the prepared tools, unscrewing the nuts and removing all the old parts in turn.

Having reached the water pipes, some craftsmen leave the old eccentrics without changing them. But, they must check the suitability for further use.

Remove the old faucet carefully so as not to damage the facing tiles on the wall and the enamel of the bath itself

Before screwing in the eccentric bushings, you should carefully wrap the sealant - tow on the thread. Then apply a thin layer of silicone or Unipack paste on it.

After screwing in these parts, you need to check with a level their horizontal position relative to each other and, and with a tape measure, the distance between them. If everything is in order, then you can proceed to further assembly. Now we have to wind the decorative cups-reflectors that cover the holes in the wall.

After - it is possible to connect the inlet pipes of the mixer with eccentric bushings, using the union nuts supplied in the kit. Be sure to put a gasket under the nuts. Having carefully twisted everything, they connect a spout and a flexible shower hose, to which a watering can is screwed.

Now we have to check whether everything is qualitatively installed and whether there are any leaks. It is necessary to open the taps responsible for supplying water to the apartment and turn on the newly installed mixer.

It is better to check first with a small pressure, then increase the power of the jet to the stop. If all is well, then be sure to switch the water to the shower hose and check how this part of the system works.

The eccentrics come in different lengths. A short one can be replaced with a longer one, and a very long one can be shortened by cutting off the excess

In the absence of leaks, you can congratulate yourself on the first independent, and most importantly, correct installation. If there is a leak, then you have to carefully look at exactly where this is happening, then turn off the water again, remove everything that was installed, and carefully repeat the process again.

It is important to carefully inspect each gasket and nut - perhaps some kind of fastener was overtightened, which led to damage to one of the parts. The tow on the eccentrics will also have to be rewound.

Step #5 Installing a horizontal mixer

Having figured out how to independently install a vertical-type mixer in the bathroom, consider the option of horizontal installation. It differs from the previous one in that either bathtubs, where special holes are provided for the mixer.

Sometimes there are no such holes, but the width of the sides allows this kind of installation. Here you have to work hard - cut holes for the faucet on the bathtub shelf yourself.

Such work must be done very carefully so as not to damage the coating of the container. Home craftsmen got the hang of cutting holes not only in acrylic, but also in steel and cast iron baths without damaging the enamel.

The main convenience of this kind of mixers is that the location of the water pipes can be at any distance. This will not interfere with the installation of the selected faucet model - it will have to be connected using flexible hoses or copper tubes.

The vertical type of faucet is most often installed separately on the sink in the bathroom - it is more convenient and aesthetically pleasing than using one faucet for the washbasin and bathtub (+)

Having screwed the horizontal mixer into the special holes of the plumbing, it must be additionally fixed with a pressure washer with a gasket. Flexible hoses must first be threaded into the hole on which the faucet will be installed.

Now the hoses are to be connected to the water pipes with cold and hot water, using tow or a special fum tape as a sealant.

After these manipulations, it remains to check the quality of your work - open the taps that shut off the water supply to the apartment and turn on the mixer. If nothing is leaking anywhere, the faucet is installed correctly. Otherwise, you need to disassemble everything and do all the work again.

Before installation work, it is necessary to block the water pipes so as not to flood the neighbors from below. Self-installation will take a little time and will save on plumbing services.

Have experience replacing an old faucet or installing a new faucet? Or have questions about the topic? Please share your opinion and leave comments. The contact form is located below.

In the implementation there is a huge selection of different wall-mounted mixers. But they all differ only in design, there are no fundamental differences in technical characteristics. This greatly simplifies the installation process, making it possible over time to replace old models with new ones without a lot of additional work. In the article, we will consider examples for all occasions: repairing outdated communications for a new mixer, dismantling the old one and installing a new one.

The quality of acceptance of water procedures depends not only on the correct installation, but also on the choice of the installation site and the specific model of the mixer. If you already have outlet pipe sockets, then do not change the place. This issue needs to be addressed at the stage of renovation of the premises. The choice of mixer should be approached carefully at any stage. In order to help you make the best decision, here is a brief comparison of the types of mixers and their performance characteristics.

Experienced plumbers recommend installing faucets with two mid-range valves. Such devices operate for many years without repairs, while the quality of water does not have any effect on the duration of operation. And the water in domestic homes is far from ideal.

Let's start with the simplest option: water sockets are made, the distance between them is standard 15 centimeters. Horizontally, the conclusions are approximately at the same level. All small errors can be eliminated by adjusting the eccentrics.

Step 1. Check the completeness of the mixer. There must be all elements of the device, eccentrics and seals.

Step 2 Turn off the water, remove the plugs from the sockets. Clean the thread, remove dirt. If plumbing has not been connected to the pipes before, then it is advisable to rinse them. To do this, place a container below to collect water, cover the sockets with a cloth to prevent a strong horizontal jet and fully open the water supply tap. Strong pressure will remove all dirt and foreign objects from the pipelines. If this is not done, then while using the bathroom, you will have to disassemble the mixer for cleaning.

Step 3 Wrap the FUM tape around the eccentrics.

We strongly recommend using tape rather than traditional tow. It perfectly holds water, for reliable sealing of threaded connections there is no need to tighten them strongly. We have already mentioned above that silumin eccentrics react negatively to great efforts. But the tape has one unpleasant property - it can only be used once. If you have not wound enough sealant, then you cannot wind it on the old one. It is completely removed, and new material is used for sealing.

Applying sanitary paste to linen

To find out the approximate amount of tape to be wound, screw the eccentrics into the thread without a seal. See if there is a big gap between them, if they stagger a lot. If the screwing is normal, then you need to wind 5-6 rows of tape, if the eccentrics stagger noticeably, then you need 10-12 rows.

How to install eccentrics correctly? This is a very important point.

Important. Never install faucets with force, we have already said that silumin will definitely crack over time. There will be leaks, you will have to deal with repairs. In addition, a cracked eccentric may break off completely, leaving part of the thread in the socket. It is very difficult to get her out of there. How to do this, we will describe below.

1. Remove the mixer, put a level on the two eccentrics and set them horizontally. Turn both carefully at once, make sure that the distance between them does not change.

   For control, constantly apply a mixer to the thread. When screwing in the eccentrics, you should always remember that the ends must be located in the same plane, otherwise the mixer will be at an angle to the wall, which will complicate installation. But this is not all the problems. In order to tightly press the rubber gaskets in the device in this position, you have to make great efforts, these efforts will constantly act on the elements. We have already said that eccentrics react extremely negatively to long-term static loads, the effect of fatigue appears, the metal cracks. As a result, leaks and the inevitability of repair.

2. Everything is normal - install decorative protective caps and twist the mixer.

   Nuts have a thin decorative coating, so as not to damage it with a wrench, use any gaskets. Rubber gaskets are most often installed between the eccentrics and the mixer; it is not necessary to tighten it strongly for several reasons. Firstly, the rubber can cut through, leaks will appear, the gaskets will have to be changed. Secondly, gaskets serve not only to seal the joint, but also to compensate for thermal expansion. As a rule, when heated, the mixer increases in size more than the eccentrics, rubber compensates for these differences without any problems. But if it is strongly compressed, then this function will not be performed, as a result of cracks and leaks.

Practical advice. Often there are situations when the length of the threaded part of the eccentrics is so large that it is not closed with decorative caps, a gap is visible between them and the wall. This is very ugly, don't let it happen. Before starting the installation, screw them on without a seal, put the decorative caps back in place and screw on the mixer. If there is a problem, shorten the thread with a grinder. This must be done carefully, cut the thread only at a right angle to the axis. Be sure to correct the first turn with a triangular file. To check, drive the thread with a nut with the correct diameter and pitch. Ideally, the eccentrics should be pressed tightly against the wall with the mixer nuts.

You can find other recommendations for leveling the mixer. Screw it to the eccentrics, put a level on the body. Next, rotate one of the nuts with a wrench, due to the fact that the body is attached, both eccentrics will rotate through the lever at once. We do not recommend using this method. Why? Firstly, a lot of effort will have to be applied to the nut in order to turn two eccentrics at the same time. This cannot be done, we have already mentioned why. Secondly, this nut can cut through the rubber gasket, we also talked about the consequences. And, thirdly, the thread with the FUM tape cannot be unscrewed, it can only be tightened. Otherwise, leakage may occur.

Features of installing mixers on an open water supply system

Faucets in the bathroom can have a hidden or open supply of cold and hot water, the latter option exists in old houses and is currently almost never used.

In addition to aesthetic problems, outdoor wiring has a very significant drawback: condensate constantly accumulates on cold pipes, often there is so much of it that drops fall on the floor and furniture. Such phenomena do not decorate the bathroom, we do not recommend installing faucets on open wiring. If you have such a variant of engineering networks, then you should not be too lazy and hide the pipes.

There is a large amount of work ahead, there will be a lot of noise and construction debris from wall chasing, you will have to deal with plastering or other finishing work. But the end result is worth it.

Condensation will accumulate on open pipes

According to the technology, installing a faucet in the bathroom on an open plumbing system has no differences from the one described above. The only remark - check the strength of the fixation of the outlets of the pipelines. They are fixed with dowels, often the length and diameter of the hardware is selected without taking into account the loads.

And more advice. You should not mount heavy mixers in this way, plastic fittings are not designed for heavy loads.

How to replace a broken eccentric on a faucet

We have repeatedly mentioned that the quality of eccentrics is far from desirable, in this regard, the appearance of leaks due to cracks is a fairly common phenomenon. The same problems can arise when replacing an old mixer, when old adapters are unscrewed, they crack.

How to minimize the likelihood of unpleasant situations?

1. Do not apply great force when unscrewing the old eccentrics. Hold the key as close as possible to the thread, turn it strictly around the circumference, do not allow pressure to the sides.
2. With your free hand, press the eccentric, “sink” it into the thread. During screwing, the resistance force should gradually decrease. If this does not happen and with each revolution it is necessary to apply increased efforts, then twist it a little and start twisting it again. Move the key to the left to the right, gradually increasing the twisting.
3. If you are changing the eccentrics due to the fact that they are a little cracked and leaking, then you need to be extra careful and prevent complete breaking off. Press the free end of the element to the thread, unscrew very slowly, do not skew.

Unfortunately, these recommendations do not always help to avoid breaking off eccentrics, often the threaded part remains in the socket. Getting it out of there is quite difficult, but possible. Work is much easier to do if not tow was used for sealing, but FUM tape. When sealing threaded connections with tape, unlike tow, it is not necessary to tighten the eccentrics with great effort. Accordingly, it is much easier to unscrew them. This is another argument in favor of using such a sealant.

There are two ways to unscrew the broken off threaded part of the eccentric from the socket.

The first is with a hacksaw blade for metal.

Step 1. Carefully cut a groove in the broken thread with a hacksaw. Do this very carefully, try to minimize damage to the threads in the socket and never saw through it completely. If the groove damages the threads to the full depth, then there will definitely be leaks.

To facilitate the work, break off the end of the hacksaw blade without teeth. Pay attention that during sawing the teeth are turned in your direction, and not vice versa.

Practical advice. The work will be much easier if you have a quality hacksaw. Never buy a blade that has only black teeth and the rest of the metal is white. Due to staining, manufacturers only imitate the hardening process, the hacksaw does not have the required hardness. The fact is that the canvas can be hardened by heating with an open flame or high-frequency currents. Both technologies are possible only when the entire blade is heated, and not just a narrow strip of teeth. It is impossible to heat a part of the web with high-frequency currents according to physical laws. And when only the teeth are heated by a flame, it is impossible to withstand the hardening regimes.

Step 2 Try using a screwdriver to pry off the broken piece of thread and loosen it a little. If it doesn’t work, cut the second groove next to it in the same way.

Step 3 Remove the sawn off strip, it will have to be broken off. We have already said that it is forbidden to completely saw through the thread on a broken piece. Pry it with the tip of a screwdriver and try to bend it with a hammer and remove it. Silumin, from which eccentrics are made, the metal is fragile and will be removed after several attempts.

Step 4 Unscrew the broken piece with the tips of the pliers, it should come out easily. Clean the threads in the socket from the remnants of the sealant, check the condition, drive it with a new eccentric.

This method of removing a broken part is quite laborious and unsafe - there is a high probability of damage to the thread in the socket.

Video - The eccentric broke. How to pull it out?

Step 1. Pick up any metal conical object with sharp edges, the width of the edges should be equal to the inner diameter of the broken off threaded part of the eccentric. A large triangular file is great, if it is not there, then you can cut such a device from a steel strip with a grinder. By the way, it will always come in handy for a home master.

Step 2 Insert the smaller taper into the hole and advance it until the sharp edges rest against the body of the piece of thread.

Step 3 Gently tap on the reverse side with a hammer, the edges should make small indentations in the metal.

Step 4 With one hand, press on the free end of the device, and with the other, slowly begin to unscrew. You can use any suitable keys or pliers. The main thing is to move the thread from its place, after that it unscrews easily.

This method allows you to keep the thread of the socket intact, re-tightening the eccentric is not a problem. And you can not worry about tightness, everything will be fine.

These types of devices can only be mounted on solid bases. If the walls are finished with clapboard, plasterboard, panels, etc., then installing the mixer on them is not possible. Consider this feature even at the stage of bathroom renovation. If you are doing a major overhaul of old premises, then immediately sink the pipes for supplying cold and hot water. In this case, several conditions must be met.

1. The distance between the outlets of the water supply is approximately 15 centimeters. This option is suitable for the vast majority of wall faucets, except for expensive exclusive options.

   water outlet

2. Attach outlets to walls very securely. If you plan to mount the mixer on a foam block partition, then take a set of measures to increase the fixation strength. The main disadvantage of foam concrete is low strength, and the use of special dowels in our case will not help. It is advisable to make conical holes with the top of the cone outward in the places where the sockets are fixed in the blocks, fill them with a cement-sand mixture with an increased amount of cement, and install dowels in this material. To increase the strength of the fastening, the socket should be sealed with a solution around the entire perimeter.
3. During installation, consider the thickness of the wall finish. If ceramic tiles are planned, then the thickness of the adhesive is approximately 0.5 cm, the same thickness of the tile. Set water outlets according to these parameters. After the final finishing of the walls, some should lie in the same plane with ceramic tiles, do not sink them. The fact is that, if necessary, you can easily cut off a piece of the thread of a too long eccentric, this is imperceptible and does not have any negative effect on the tightness of the connection. If the sockets are very far from the surface and the eccentric thread captures them for only a few turns, then problems arise. It is possible to lengthen the internal thread using a set of adapters, although such manipulations will always be noticeable. True, reputable plumbing equipment stores have eccentrics with different length parameters, but not every master has the opportunity to visit such establishments. This is especially true for residents of villages and small towns.
4. Once the sockets are soldered to the pipes, close their internal openings immediately. It is better to use special plastic plugs, if they are not available, then use paper or pieces of cloth. Take all measures to ensure that no mortar or construction debris gets inside during construction work.
5. If possible, it is recommended to install special strips for sockets under the mixer. The slats increase the reliability of fixation, but they also have one drawback - you will have to expand the mounting hole.
6. Before chasing the walls, make markings on them. You need two vertical lines and one horizontal. Draw lines of such length that they allow you to control the position of the sockets after the holes are chiselled. Apply even rails or rulers to them and fix sockets along the axes.
7. When marking the position of water outlets, consider the features of ceramic tiles. It is very difficult for tilers to cut corner holes at the ends of tiles, and they often crack. Slightly shift the position of the sockets in one direction or another so that they come out in the center of the tiles. Holes in the center are drilled without problems with a crown, the finish is neat and beautiful.

Wall mixer with shower

Video - How to install a bathroom faucet on the wall

For 74% of consumers who buy a bath faucet, the horizontal installation of the design plays a decisive role in the choice. Why?

• There is no need to spoil the finishing materials - a case of wall mounting.
• Repair of the mixer or its complete replacement is carried out in 20 minutes. This advantage of the horizontal faucet mounting technology is particularly attractive when compared to the flush mounting method.
• Low cost models. Although designer bathroom faucets from foreign manufacturers will have a high price.

• Quick and clean faucet installation without the need for professional help. On the sides of plumbing fixtures, holes are already provided for installing a faucet. All you need is to assemble the spout, connect it to the water supply.
• The wide design possibilities of the body of the models allow you to choose a bathroom faucet that will become a true decoration of the room and a bright addition to the interior solution.

Popular with consumers in the first half of 2016 was a horizontal faucet for a washbasin in the bathroom from Lemark model Plus Advance LM1206C.

Types of horizontal faucets?

In the manufacturers' catalogs you can find a decent selection of single-lever and two-valve models. Domestic and imported brands have non-contact and elbow taps. The last two types of mixers differ not only in the mechanism for adjusting the water supply, but also in cost. Market analysis has shown that sensor models are 5-35% more expensive than classic single- or double-arm cranes. Rarely, but 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 faucet will automatically turn off.

Horizontal mount bath faucets are classified not only by the control mechanism. The main division of cranes is carried out according to their intended purpose:

• On a washbasin or sink

Models of the horizontal type of fastening differ in the characteristics of the spout. It is this parameter that determines the usability of the model. Today, taps with a spout from 80 to 150 mm long are offered. In the presence of a shallow and small sink, it is better to use a faucet with a shortened curved spout - less splashes, 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 pay attention to the height of the product. Models are available from 90 to 200 mm high. Popular model for washbasin Milardo Cadiss CADSB00M01.

• On the bidet

87% of models have exactly a horizontal mount on the side of plumbing. Most spouts of this type are single-lever designs, although decent 2-valve options are also found. A feature of sanitary equipment is a rotary aerator, with the help of which the direction of the water flow is performed. 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 can vary from 80 to 155 mm. A convenient and reliable bidet faucet for horizontal installation, according to consumers, is Grohe Supra 24474 with heat-insulated handles.

• To the bath

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

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

Functionality of horizontal faucets

Modern horizontal models can be supplemented with:

• Elements for adjusting the pressure of the jet.
• thermostat. Built-in device that allows you to set the required water temperature. The mixer is connected only to the cold water pipe and is recommended for installation where there is no hot water supply or is unstable.
• Water saving aerator.
• The ability to adjust the source mode.
• Nozzles with massage properties. Such an addition may have a horizontal mixer with a shower or a hygienic watering can.

Some features of cranes with a horizontal type of fastening

Many consumers are convinced that this type of faucet looks rustic. The statement is not true, since manufacturers offer models that look unusual in the interior and at the same time are cheaper than those built into the wall. For example, the Hansgrohe Metris Classic 31313000 is a horizontal recessed rim mount.

The body of sanitary devices is made of:

• Chrome plated brass or bronze. Optimum material in terms of durability and resistance to operational loads.
• Silumin is a moisture/water resistant alloy of aluminum and silicon. Disadvantage: the material quickly ages.
• Plastics. Inexpensive and short-lived models of mixers. A faucet with a shower head made of ABS plastic or reinforced plastic has a shower head.
• Nickel alloys.
• Ceramics.
• Steel.

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

Buy a bathroom faucet - cheap bathroom faucets are the best

A bathroom is an essential attribute of human life, a faucet is an essential attribute of a bathroom. Choosing a bathroom faucet means giving your room a unique personality.

In our online store you will find a full range of models of the best bathroom faucets and you will be able to choose the model that suits you best.

When it comes to buying a bathroom faucet, there are several important factors to consider.

Bath faucets can be of different designs with different functionality.

The mixer faucet can be of a single design or have two handles for regulating the supply of cold and hot water separately.

The switch for the shower can be made in the form of a rotary knob, installed either directly in front of the "spout" of the mixer, or on its body. There are also models with a shower switch in the form of a spool switch.

A special feature of faucets with a rotary switch is the possibility of an even distribution of 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 better to choose a faucet with an elongated spout to be able to use it both directly in the bowl of the bathroom itself and in the washstand adjacent to the bathroom. If your room is spacious enough and the washstand is located at a considerable distance from the bathroom, then there is no need for an elongated spout.

A huge role in the beautiful and functional design of the bathroom is played by a bath faucet, because the comfort and convenience of such a room as a bathroom depends on how high-quality and reliable the water supply will be. Bath faucet - plumbing, which differs from other faucets in the shape of the spout, as well as the presence of a shower head (although not all models may have it). But the quality of the faucet depends not only on its configuration, but also on the materials from which the faucet is made, on the reliability of the assembly, on the functionality and guarantee of dryness in the bathroom, which the manufacturers promise. In our online store you can buy a variety of bath faucets, as there can be a huge number of types of such products.

Selection of collections of bathroom faucets in the catalog of our online store

First of all, bath faucets are products that are divided into single-lever, two-valve and thermostatic faucets. Single-lever models are the simplest and easiest to manage, two-valve models are the most reliable, and thermostats are the most attractive in terms of design, they automatically regulate the pressure and temperature of the water, therefore they are considered the safest of the above faucets.

Also, recently, many manufacturers have begun to produce cascade mixers, in which water flows in a wide massive jet. Such faucets look original on modern bathtubs equipped with hydromassage and other functional systems.

Order bathroom faucets from various manufacturers at an affordable price

For all bath faucets, the price offered in our catalog is quite low. We were able to implement a special marketing program that allowed us to work directly with manufacturers and buyers, which influenced the pricing policy of our company. We offer mixers of only high quality. Basically, they are made of brass - a reliable and practical material, but the filling in such products can be very diverse (both metal, alloys, and ceramics).

Separately, it is worth mentioning the design of mixers. They can be made in a classic style, they can be gold-plated, silver, chrome or matte. Some models are decorated with rhinestones, others with carved elements - all this gives the bathroom interior a special charm and sophistication.

Bath faucets are a purchase in which there is no need to rush, so we advise you to study our catalog in detail and choose the faucet you like.
