Wall mounted kitchen faucet

Speaking of kitchen faucets, you can divide them into two large groups and immediately give them a brief description: taps for large kitchen rooms (cafes, restaurants, canteens) are narrowly specialized, products that are familiar to the eye, which have a different form of attachment, are called compact.

Wall mounted kitchen faucet mounted directly on a vertical surface as it is traditionally located in the bathroom. The most common model is a single-lever crane with the possibility of economical consumption of hot and cold views, ease of adjusting its temperature, a variety of shapes and colors.

Types of spout

Standard kitchen sinks with a mixer have a high spout due to the high design of the latter. High spout allows you to turn the valve in any direction, unlike the model with a short type spout.A significant disadvantage of such a model of a crane with an upper spout will be that when opening it at high power, water splashes form. Models with a long spout can be positioned at the top of the tap and on the wall; The article deals with wall models, so let's continue the conversation about them.

Installation of the mixer with a short spout allows you to get rid of this problem and do without splashes. The retractable watering can often becomes a companion to the crane with a short spout, while the mixer spout extends, thereby increasing the functionality of the product. There are models with a retractable watering can with a length of 15 cm to 1 meter, which will be appropriate for a large kitchen and a spacious deep sink to avoid the formation of puddles on the facades of the kitchen and countertop.

Materials

Depending on the material of the mixer, its price is determined: there are models made of plastic, brass, copper, bronze, steel, porcelain, silver-coated, stone, glass and combined. The crane and its components can be a single unit or a collapsible design, which allows, if necessary, to replace its individual components.
