Handtvättställ

Handtvättställ, often translated as "washbasin" or "sink" in English, is a sanitary plumbing fixture typically found in bathrooms and kitchens. Its primary purpose is to provide a convenient place for washing hands, face, and other small items. Handtvättställs are commonly made from ceramic, porcelain, stainless steel, or composite materials.

The design of a handtvättställ can vary significantly, from simple pedestal sinks to integrated countertops with basins. They usually feature a faucet or tap to supply water and a drain for water to flow away. Some modern handtvättställs may also include features like overflow drains to prevent accidental flooding. The installation of a handtvättställ typically involves connecting it to both the water supply and the drainage system. They are a fundamental component of modern sanitation and hygiene practices in homes, public spaces, and workplaces. Regular cleaning is recommended to maintain hygiene and prevent the buildup of soap scum and mineral deposits.
