Types of construction valves

🔺Valves are generally classified into two categories: valves with gaskets and valves without gaskets. Ball valves, disc valves and cartridge valves are known as valves without gaskets, and pressure valves are considered as valves with gaskets. Ball valves Construction ball valves, which are also called single-lever valves, are often used in kitchens. The structure of ball valves is such that the valve lever rotates around the ball cap in the upper part of the valve body. The valve lever in this type of valve is actually a metal ball. or the plastic inside the valve body controls. The operation of the ball valve is in such a way that it makes it possible to adjust the temperature and pressure with only one hand. One of the disadvantages of the ball construction valves is that compared to other valves without washers and due to the number of parts used in the valve, it is a problem More dripping will occur. Disc valves The new generation of luxury and modern construction faucets are ceramic sanitary faucets. Ceramic sanitary faucets are also known as single-lever faucets, whose lever is placed on a wide cylindrical body. In disk faucets, hot and cold water are mixed together inside a tank, which is called pressure balance cartridge tank. Two ceramic discs are placed at the end of this tank, which control the water pressure by moving up and down. they do. 🔺 To adjust the water temperature, the lever is designed to rotate to the right and left. Disc valves are of high quality and have better performance than other construction valves, and as a result, they will need less repairs. Cartridge valves One of the types of two-lever construction valves are cartridge valves, which have a similar appearance to two-lever pressure valves. The only difference between these construction valves is that cartridge valves are without gaskets, but pressure valves have gaskets. Although these two types of valves have Shahri are similar, but it is easy to notice the difference in their performance. 🔺Pressure valves need to apply pressure on a washer when turning the lever. Water exit from pressure building valves is not as easy as cartridge valves. In cartridge faucets, the smallest turn of the lever enables the water flow to be turned on and off. Pressure valves 🔺 One of the oldest construction valves are pressure valves, which are mostly seen in old buildings. Pressure valves are considered to be gasket type valves and have a lower price compared to other valves. 🔺 Although they need to apply more pressure to cut off and connect the water flow, but compared to other types of faucets, they have better performance and less dripping problem. The act of mixing hot and cold water in pressure faucets is done by using two levers. .
