Through this single lever, the intensity and temperature of the water is adjusted. Due to the number The parts used in these types of valves are the same, ball valves leak more than other valves without washers.

It is often difficult to distinguish two-lever cartridge valves from two-lever pressure valves because they are very similar, due to the difference that cartridge valves do not have gaskets, but pressure valves work with washers. . What can separate the difference between the two is when levers are used. Pressure valves have stiffer levers than cartridge valves because the levers need to put pressure on the washers to shut off the water. But cartridge valves are not like this, because if this lever is turned ½, the water opens and closes, and there is no need for any pressure to close or open the water valve.
