Vesihanat

Vesihanat, commonly known as faucets or taps, are plumbing devices that control the flow of water from a water supply. They are essential fixtures in homes, businesses, and public spaces, found in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and outdoor areas. The primary function of a vesihana is to allow users to regulate the volume and temperature of water dispensed.

The basic mechanism of a vesihana typically involves a valve that can be opened or closed to permit or stop the flow of water. Older designs often used compression valves where a rubber washer was pressed against a valve seat. Modern vesihanat commonly employ ceramic disc valves, which are more durable and provide smoother operation. Ball valves and cartridge valves are also used, each with its own advantages in terms of durability and ease of repair.

Vesihanat come in a wide variety of styles and designs to suit different aesthetic preferences and functional needs. Common types include single-handle faucets, which control both water flow and temperature with one lever, and double-handle faucets, which have separate controls for hot and cold water. Other variations include pull-down or pull-out faucets for increased flexibility, and touchless or sensor faucets for enhanced hygiene and convenience. The materials used for vesihanat range from durable brass and stainless steel to more decorative options like chrome, nickel, and various finishes. Proper installation and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and efficient operation of any vesihana.
