The mixer is a plumbing device that allows you to adjust the temperature of water flowing through it.
We are divided into single-art, double-handed and electronic.
In this article, it will be about the second type - a single-art mixer with a ball device.
Sharova mixer - One of the types of a single-grazing mixer. It differs from duplex mixers in that the inclusion and turning off the water flow, as well as the water temperature adjustment is carried out with one lever.
The advantages should be attributed to a very fast stop of water flow and The possibility of premature regulation of water flow (depending on water supply conditions). The disadvantages include the increased sensitivity of the ball to corrosion, deposit of gaskets and seals.
Inside the mixer contains a black ball for smoothness, which has three holes: two input and one output. When turning the lever, this ball rotates. The plastic socket connects the ball and the valve-regulator, there are teflon rings in the nest. Thus, the lever rotates extremely smoothly. The casing on such a mixer provides the flow and spill of water.
The principle of action is simple: Through one inlet, cold water enters, and through the other - hot. Depending on the position of the lever, that is, the ball, the hole is either open, or closed, or partially open. The to the right - the more the right hole is open, at one time, more and more closing the left and vice versa. The more open hole, the more cold or hot water will come inside the mixer. Inside the mixer, the mixture of cold and hot water is mixed in the specified proportions, and the water is performed through the outlet. If the outlet is closed (as a rule, in the lower position of the lever) - then the water from the crane does not follow. In the upper position of the lever will be made maximum watering of water.
