Standard wall-mounted washbasin faucet

Product detailed description

This wall-mounted washbason faucet is commonly used in residential and commercial bathroom installations where space efficiency and accessibility are key. It is suitable for use in standard plumbing systems with cold and hot water supply, and its design allows for integration into both new builds and renovation projects. The swivel spout type 'U' provides flexibility for cleaning and use, while the eccentric connection ensures alignment with the wall-mounted basin. Installers should consider the spacing and thread type when planning the layout to ensure compatibility with the existing or planned plumbing system.

The brass construction and chrome finish make this faucet suitable for environments with moderate to high humidity, such as bathrooms and utility rooms. The ceramic shut-off valves ensure a tight seal and smooth operation, reducing the risk of leaks and wear over time. The aerator and filter gaskets help maintain water quality and reduce sediment build-up in the system. This model is intended for use with standard water pressure and temperature ranges as defined by the manufacturer's specifications.

The ceramic shut-off valves are sized for 1/2 inch connections, which is standard for domestic plumbing systems. The aerator has an M22x1 thread, commonly used for washbasin outlets. The eccentric connection with a spacing of 150 ± 20 mm allows for adjustment during installation to align with the basin's inlet. These parameters are essential for ensuring correct fit and function, particularly when matching the faucet to the basin and water supply lines.

Installation and connection

To install this wall-mounted faucet, begin by ensuring the basin is securely mounted and the inlet holes are aligned. The eccentric connection allows for fine adjustment of the faucet's position, so it is important to check the spacing and alignment before tightening the fittings. Connect the water supply lines using the 1/2 inch ceramic heads, ensuring that the gaskets are in place to prevent leaks. The swivel spout should be positioned for optimal reach and ease of use. Common installation mistakes include incorrect thread orientation, insufficient tightening of the eccentric fittings, and failure to check for water flow before final assembly. Always verify the system for leaks after installation and before commissioning.

Compatibility and accessories

This faucet is compatible with standard wall-mounted basins that have a 150 mm inlet spacing. It requires a basin with a suitable mounting plate or support structure to accommodate the eccentric connection. The aerator, gaskets and filter are included in the package, but additional mounting hardware may be required depending on the basin design. No specific related products are listed for this model.

Technical background for designers

The operating principle of this faucet relies on the ceramic disc shut-off valves, which provide a durable and leak-free seal. The brass body ensures resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress, making it suitable for long-term use in humid environments. The swivel spout allows for directional flexibility, which is particularly useful in compact spaces. The integration into the system depends on the basin's inlet dimensions and the water supply configuration. The service life is influenced by water quality, pressure stability and the frequency of use. Regular maintenance of the aerator and filter can help maintain performance and reduce sediment-related issues.

Service and operation

Routine maintenance for this faucet includes checking the aerator and filter for blockages and replacing them if necessary. The ceramic valves should be inspected for wear or damage, particularly if there is a noticeable drop in water flow or pressure. The gaskets and seals should also be checked for signs of deterioration. No specific service intervals are provided in the brief, but it is recommended to inspect the faucet periodically during system maintenance checks. Any leaks or irregular operation should be addressed promptly to prevent further damage to the system.

Frequently asked questions

Can this faucet be used with a basin that has a different inlet spacing?
Yes, the eccentric connection allows for a spacing of 150 ± 20 mm, which provides some flexibility for different basin designs. However, it is important to ensure that the basin's inlet is compatible with the eccentric mounting system.

Is the aerator removable for cleaning or replacement?
Yes, the aerator has an M22x1 thread and can be removed for cleaning or replacement. It is recommended to clean the aerator periodically to maintain water flow and prevent blockages.

Can the spout be adjusted after installation?
Yes, the swivel spout type 'U' allows for directional adjustment. However, the main position of the faucet is fixed once the eccentric connection is tightened. Any adjustments should be made before final tightening of the mounting hardware.

What type of water pressure is suitable for this faucet?
This faucet is designed for standard domestic water pressure as defined by the manufacturer's specifications. It is not intended for high-pressure or industrial applications.
