kraanikauss

Kraanikauss, also known as a washbasin or sink, is a plumbing fixture used for washing hands, face, and other personal hygiene activities. It is typically found in bathrooms and powder rooms. The term "kraanikauss" is Estonian and directly translates to "tap bowl" or "faucet bowl," referring to the bowl-shaped receptacle into which water flows from a faucet.

Kraanikausid come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and materials. Common materials include ceramic, porcelain, stainless steel, and glass. The design of a kraanikauss can range from simple and functional to elaborate and decorative, complementing the overall style of the room. They can be mounted in different ways, such as wall-mounted, pedestal, countertop, or undermount, each offering distinct aesthetic and practical benefits.

Essential components of a kraanikauss system include the basin itself, a faucet to control the water supply, and a drain to remove used water. The faucet typically has handles for hot and cold water, allowing for temperature control. The drain assembly usually includes a stopper mechanism to hold water in the basin when desired and a pipe leading to the building's drainage system. Regular cleaning is important to maintain hygiene and prevent clogs.
