The mixer is one of the most frequently used devices in the house. Given the large operational loads, it is very important to install it correctly. The whole procedure does not take much time and does not require special knowledge. Therefore, each will cope with this work.

Types of mixers

There are several types of mixers. They differ not only to the target purpose, but also in the installation method. For example, the installation of a three-way mixer is necessary only in heating systems, and this device itself has nothing to do with the familiar crane.

Depending on the functional purpose, the following types of mixers can be distinguished:

• kitchen,
• showers,
• decorative
• industrial.

Kitchen faucets have the simplest system. Such instruments consist of:

• the crane itself
• rubber gasket
• fastening elements.

This type of mixer is installed not only near the kitchen sink, but also everywhere where there is a washbasin.

The mixers for the bathroom in addition to the standard elements are also added to the shower. The principle of operation of such aggregates is based on a system of shut-off valves.

Decorative faucets appeared on the market not so long ago. They are different art objects. A common feature is that only the part of the crane is visible through which water is served. Cheaper mechanical options consist of a repository mechanism and water supply channel. Electronic analogs react to the presence of a person automatically, so the mixer consists only of the crane.

Industrial mixers are rarely used at home. Their main distinctive feature is wear resistance. First, they are designed for high pressure, secondly, they have the simplest design. As a rule, industrial faucets are designed for a separate water supply to each crane. They do not have temperature regulators and the ability to adjust water supply. Such a mixer can put owners of private houses. It will be a good option for outdoor wash.

Installing the mixer in shower

Installation of the mixer in the bathroom can be divided into several stages:

• selection of mixers
• preparatory work,
• installation.

Standard bath kit is a shower and a clothesline. The choice of the water studio depends on the size of the bathroom and is an extremely aesthetic question. Sometimes, in order to save space, the mixer with hygienic shower is carried out. The process is as follows:

• connect underwater hoses to water supply, one to hot water, second to cold,
• align and secure the mixer on the washbasin,
• connect underwater hoses to the mixer
• connect to the mixer shower hose.

If the place allows you to separately install the shower, the installation of the mixer for the sink is carried out in the same way, but without the last item.

It is important to remember that the gasket must completely overlap the support portion of the mixer. This will not only allow to avoid breaking the mechanism, but also protect the washbasin from damage.

Installation of the mixer for the shower is not particularly different from the installation of any other mixer. If desired, the shower and water farest can be installed separately. To do this, use a tee. But this option is complicated in the implementation and relevant only with the possibility of creating false walls. Today, there are more simple in operation and mounting mixers of a hidden type.

Consider more detailed how to install the mixer of the hidden editing:

• mount bearing structural elements,
• connect the cold and hot water,
• build a false wall,
• determine the location for the access hatch,
• drill holes in the wall to the outer elements,
• connect the outer elements,
• electronics set, if any.

These faucets look prettier than their counterparts, but cost significantly more. Manufacturers provide long-term guarantee of quality goods, but if the mixer still breaks down to replace it will need to disassemble the wall.

Alternatively, the flush-mounted faucets mounted with a large outer part. It is formed as a decorative element and allows to maintain access to the structure.

The most interesting approach for the implementation of the soul - is the installation of in-line mixer. This technology allows to position the valve and the supply valve on an unlimited distance from each other.

The system consists of a main unit and pressurized water supply conduits. Pressure unit performs distribution of water in the system. Depending on the needs, you can purchase a block that simultaneously supports one, two or more devices.

It mounted outer portion. It is made in the style of a standard tap or in the form of buttons. Binders tube carried by the water supply pressure to the mixer unit or showering. This system is controlled exclusively mechanically.

Installation Mixer in the kitchen

Installation kitchen mixer tap is carried out by fixing to the washbasin and connecting to it water.

Mixer - this is a universal device, which consists of only a few elements:

• tap,
• pad,
• lock
• clamping screws,
• underwater pipes.

Regardless of the purpose of the mixer, its constituent elements are the same. Therefore, the installation procedure is no different.

The only thing you should pay attention when installing the liner mixer - a quality crimp. The kitchen faucet are fairly common. Every time you open the water, underwater tubes are water hammer. To prevent damage should implement the following recommendations:

• wound on a water pipe thread or tow Phouma,
• good crimp attachment of underwater pipes,
• until the final mixer assembly to check for leaks.

If water does not digs, it is possible to fix the mixer.

For the kitchen used a system of quick installation of the mixer. In such systems, the mixer is almost assembled. The only thing to do is to connect the underwater pipe to the water and fix the washing mechanism. Fixing occurs by crimping mechanisms to be used that do not require special tools.
