Before studying the rules for installing built -in mixers, you should at least in general terms, learn about the existing varieties of such devices.
Manufacturers equip built -in mixers with devices that block the temperature and water pressure. The user himself determines the level of blocking (but in the range provided for by the manufacturer). In some cases, the blocking level is installed immediately at the factory and is constant. Usually, the pressure of water is blocked at sixty percent of power, the temperature – by thirty -eight degrees above zero. In more expensive models, there can be a special eco -button that allows you to change the temperature and pressure at any time. Hot water lovers simply cancel the lock by pressing the eco -button, then set the required temperature value.
The most comfortable during operation are the retro mixers – thermostats. Such cranes maintain temperature and pressure at the same level, regardless of what level of pressure is present in the system. With such a mixer, the user can be sure: he will never receive a burns with boiling water or an unpleasant (albeit short) stay under icy water. Manufacturers supply such models with pressure and temperature regulators.
To receive a shower and bathing, the most comfortable temperature of thirty -eight degrees Celsius is considered, it is this temperature that is marked on a thermoregulatory device. When bathing, the user does not notice the slightest change in adjustment: the thermostat works very quickly, reaching a comfortable temperature in seconds.
A mixer with a thermostat is not only maximum comfort, but also water saving. Having opened the crane, the consumer immediately receives the water of the required temperature. Many manufacturers offer various models of built -in thermostatic modules. If there is no money for the mixer-targeter, you can buy a module and install it on a crane.
Before the installation of the built -in tap starts, it is necessary to carefully check the presence of all elements. The built -in mixer requires separate sets for the spout (hussak), soul and shower head. The absence of one or another element can lead to improper operation or breakdown of the water.
The length of the spout is determined individually, based on the size of the bath. The correctly selected hussak pours water directly into the bowl, without spraying it along the walls. Scattering in all directions, splashes increase humidity in the bathroom, lead to the destruction of walls and gender.
The segment of the spout can be both round and square – in this case, it all depends on the personal tastes of the buyer. The installation of classical reinforcement is carried out directly above the bathroom, using a slose. The kit is installed under the bowl. Shower set (hose and head) most often use a classic type.
In general, the installation of the built -in mixer cannot be called a difficult plumbing event, perhaps the main difficulty is the water supply supply to the installation site. A pipe with cold water is brought on the right, with hot – on the left. It is important that the pipes are on the same level. The next stage is to hide the recess in the wall. The size of the recess should be such that the hidden element of the mixer is placed in it without problems. The walls can not be beaten, but simply sheathed with moisture -resistant panels.
In the place where the crane “enters” the wall is “entered” into the wall, into which the connector of the hose and the shower head is brought up. Having installed hidden elements, the penalty is covered with a solution, then putty is carried out, cladding with tiles. With a final lining, it is necessary to leave small holes – they will install fasteners of the external elements of the mixer, shower head, hose and pouring pouring.
Having decided to purchase a built -in mixer, it should be found out what exactly forms the price of the product. Particular attention must be paid to the length of the hoses connecting the individual elements of the device. Perhaps the standard sizes are not enough and you will have to buy longer hoses.
