Modern bathtub faucets come in a wide variety and unique designs, making it easy to give your bathroom a truly "personal" look by simply replacing the faucet. A sleek new faucet with a shiny chrome finish can grab attention and add a touch of luxury to your bathroom.
A faucet is a device used to deliver water from a plumbing system. It can be composed of the following components: nozzle, handle, lifting rod, filter cartridge, bubbler, mixing chamber, and water inlet. When the handle is opened, the valve opens and controls water flow regulation in any water or temperature condition. Faucet bodies are usually made of brass, but die-cast zinc and chrome-plated plastics are also used.
Most residential faucets are single or dual-control cartridge faucets. Some single control types use a metal or plastic core that operates vertically. Others use a metal ball with a spring-loaded rubber seal embedded in the body of the faucet. Less expensive dual-control faucets contain a nylon valve cartridge with a rubber seal. Some faucets have a more durable ceramic disc element.
For many years, faucets have had two handles, one for cold water and one for hot water. This design was not changed until 1937. That year, Al Moen, a college student living in Seattle, Washington, turned on the tap to wash his hands and got burned because the water was too hot. This kickstarted the idea of the single-handle faucet in Al Moen's mind.
Moen's first design was a two-valve faucet with a single cam to control two valves. Since the faucet was unusable, it was rejected by a major lighting manufacturer, and Moen then went with the cylindrical design. From that experience, he decided to create a faucet that would provide users with water at the desired temperature through piston action. Between 1940 and 1945, he designed several faucets, eventually selling the first single-lever faucet.
