Types of construction valves
Construction valves have different components, each of which is effective in their performance. Valves are generally one of the main parts such as body, spool, hub, washer, and lever, and these components increase and decrease in different types. So that there are two levers in pressure valves and one lever in disc valves, and special sensors are used in modern valves. Of course, the difference of valves is not limited to this part and they are different from each other in terms of performance and efficiency. The most important types of valves include the following.
Hub valves
Ball faucets, designed with inspiration from old ball faucets, are among the most popular faucets used in kitchens. A ball is installed in the upper part of these valves, which is connected with the lever, and shaking it causes water to flow.
Discus valves
Disc faucets, which are also single levers, are the most practical faucets used in today's buildings. The lever of the disc valves is installed on its body and controls the water flow easily. Turning the lever to the left or right in these valves adjusts the temperature of the water and after the water is combined in the cartridge tank, it leaves the tank. Disc valves have a high durability and their efficiency is significant in homes.
Compressive valves
Pressure construction valves that have two levers are known as the oldest and most widely used models. In this product, the flow of cold and hot water is controlled with the help of two separate levers, and after opening and closing the pressure lever, the water flows. Pressure valves with washers usually have a reasonable price, but their performance is not very favorable.
Cartridge valves
The reason for naming cartridge valves is the presence of a part called cartridge in their structure, which eliminates the need for a washer. These valves are very similar to double-lever valves, except that cartridge valves are easier to operate. Cartridge valves are also available in two types, double lever and single lever.
Touch valves
Touch faucets can be introduced as a type of modern faucets in which the water flow is controlled by a sensor. These valves, which are activated only by touching the sensor, are easy to use and also reduce water consumption. Touch faucets are a special choice for kitchens and bathrooms in homes and medical and public centers.
Types of Milk Models
Lever valve: this is how turning the lever in different directions can change the water temperature can be changed and is very easy to use.
Flake valve: the same old model but with two different levers for water and electricity.
Pedal valve: This type of valve is most used in public places because it does not require a lot of special energy such as electricity.
Sensor faucet: this type is new and has a high price, but it can be used greatly in reducing water consumption.
Urinal valve: for control It is used to turn off the water flow if the main valve is damaged.
Simple tap: used to control the flow of water and mixing cold and hot water.
The types of valves based on sex
In addition to the diversity in design and technology used in their structure, construction valves are also different from each other in terms of materials and colors. This variety in the material creates unique properties in the product, which also affects the price. Valves are often made of bronze, alloys made of zinc, steel, copper and even plastic. In the meantime, valves made of zinc alloys, which have relatively good resistance, have been welcomed by the public.
Steel faucets, which are generally stainless, have a shiny appearance that gives a special effect to the environment. But bronze and copper faucets with various and different colors give a different and luxurious effect to the installation place. Despite their beauty, these lions need more care and cleaning.
Different components of construction valves
Types of construction faucets have a relatively similar structure despite their differences. The components of these valves may seem simple at first, but they create a structure that enables the control of water flow. As it is known, the damage of any of the parts and components of the valve causes its malfunction. Of course, components such as the handle, cartridge, or strap also play a more important role in these products. Some important components of valves include the following: body The body is the main part that has a lot to do with the durability, beauty and strength of the product. The body is the external part of the valve, which is made of brass, steel, bronze, steel, etc. Bonnet Bonnet is another main component that is connected to the body. Bonnet is the part where the controller is placed. trim Trim is a general part that controls the flow of water in addition to performing basic movements. category or stem Handles are the main components and are designed in rotary, linear and combination of linear and rotary types. This section opens and closes the water flow by acting on the channel. Conduit or disc As its name suggests, the sluice gate is responsible for opening and closing and controlling the flow. The sealing duct in each type of valve has a different structure that is in harmony with their mechanism. Science Alemak is the relatively long part where the water reaches the upper part with the help of the bonnet or the lower part of the valve.
How to install and use construction valves
After choosing the faucets according to the needs, it is time to install them by observing the technical points. Of course, the best way to install faucets is to entrust the work to a craftsman, which also prevents leakage and failure of the faucet. Of course, experienced people can also install different valves by having enough equipment. Now that the way of installing and using construction valves is important, the steps of their installation are as follows:
First, before doing anything, we cut off the main water tap or the secondary valve located in the distribution board.
Then we open the pipe cap and after removing the sediments, we connect the faucet to the urinal hoses that are special for dishwasher and sink faucets.
To install bathroom and toilet faucets, which are without connectors and urinal hoses, we cover two metal pieces called langi with Teflon tape and tie them in a cold or round water pipe.
Then we put two metal covers which are part of the valve on the lames.
Now it's time to install the main body of the valve, which can be easily mounted on the flange with the help of washers and secured with a wrench.
To install sink and dishwasher faucets, after installing the urinals and connecting them to the faucet, we close the screw under the faucet.
In fact, by tightening the sub-band nut, the valve is fixed in place.
The features of the best construction valves
The appearance and structural features of construction faucets are usually a good measure to measure their quality, durability and efficiency. Therefore, we have prepared a list of the features of the best faucets to make it easy for applicants to find out.
Smooth and uniform body and structure
No scratches or rust
Absence of lead in its various components
Impact and pressure resistant
Resistant to moisture and steam
Resistant to corrosion by detergents
Basic design
Color stability
The right valve selection guide
Satisfaction with the performance and efficiency of construction valves, in addition to the quality and durability of the product, depends on their suitability with the need and place of use. For example, quality plated faucets naturally have a more beautiful and durable appearance than ordinary faucets. There are many practical tips when preparing faucets, the most important of which include the following:
Choosing a model suitable for the installation location
Paying attention to the material and choosing the material suitable for the place of use
Investigating how the valve works and the technology used in its structure
Suitability of faucet model with interior decoration and other components of kitchen or bathroom
Paying attention to the height and watering of the milk
Attention to brand and useful life
Price
Warranty
Easy installation
