Bathtub accessories what is a thermostatic mixer

With the increasing pursuit of people's living standards, more and more bathtub brands have emerged in the market, and various kinds of bathtubs are familiar to us. What do we know about bathroom accessories? All bathtubs are inseparable from its composition. Here we come to understand one of its accessories thermostatic faucet.

The thermostatic mixer (thermostatic mixer) can also be called a thermostatic faucet or a thermostatic shower faucet. Its function is to automatically mix cold water and hot water into warm water of a preset temperature.

The working principle of the thermostatic faucet is as follows: At the water outlet of the thermostatic faucet, a heat-sensitive temperature element is equipped, and the valve body in the control valve moves to block or open the inlet port for cold and hot water. When the temperature adjustment knob is set to a certain temperature, the thermostatic faucet adjusts the ratio of hot and cold water entering the outlet, so that the outlet water temperature is always kept constant.

The main advantages of the thermostatic faucet are: First, the thermostatic faucet can be automatically and constantly set at the initial setting temperature. Once it is set at a time, it is not necessary to set the temperature every time just by switching the water. It is especially convenient for children and the elderly. . Secondly, the thermostatic faucet also has a water supply disconnection automatic protection function. When the set temperature is below 38 degrees and 38 degrees, no matter whether the cold water or hot water supply pipeline stops due to a fault, the thermostatic faucet will automatically stop working and can effectively Prevent the occurrence of burns and cold shocks.

The use of thermostatic taps is actually very simple. The standard thermostatic mixer has one knob on the right and left, and the knob on the left adjusts the temperature of the water: when it is screwed forward, the temperature of the water drops; when it is twisted, the temperature of the water increases, but when it is screwed to 40°C, it cannot be moved. This is because when the water temperature exceeds 40°C, it can easily scald the skin. If you need hot water with a higher water temperature, you must hold down the red safety button on the knob to continue screwing it back. In general, the knob on the right controls the water flow method and the amount of water: when the scale is aligned, it is in the closed state; when twisting forward, the water outlet nozzle at the bottom of the water discharges the water, and the greater the amount of water that is screwed forward, the greater the amount of water that is twisted forward; The bigger the thermostat is, although it is convenient to use, there are some things that must be taken care of during installation and use.

1. If the user has a small solid block, it is not suitable for thermostats;

2. The presence of powdery deposits or soft foreign materials in tap water may reduce the sensitivity of the thermostatic valve core, and may also shorten the service life of the thermostatic tap;

3. Try to shorten the distance between the water heater and the faucet so that hot water can reach the faucet as soon as possible;

4. The normal use of water pressure is 0.05Mpa ~ 0.6Mpa;

5. The water supply pipe must not be installed incorrectly. The hot water pipe must be on the left and the cold water pipe must be on the right.

6. Be sure to clean the installation site before installing the thermostatic faucet, so as not to damage the aprons, threads, thermostatic valve cores and other parts of the faucet with small sand and gravel blocks;

7. Please follow the instruction manual to install, pay special attention not to leak, lose or damage any gasket or apron;

8. The thermostat has no heating function, please adjust the water temperature of the water heater to 60°C ~ 85°C;

9. If the water pressure of hot and cold water differs too much, use a screwdriver to adjust the valve of the bracket. Households using gas water heaters need to pay attention to this.
