Kitchen faucets low pressure

Kitchen faucets low pressure
A special variant of faucets are low-pressure kitchen faucets. Nowadays, low-pressure fittings are often used in kitchens or bathrooms in old buildings. However, it is not the age of the building that plays a role, but rather the design of the building. If both hot and cold water flow through a common pipe, low-pressure fittings are required. Here, the low-pressure kitchen faucet ensures pressure equalization between the boiler and the water pipe.

In the Livingpoint24.de online shop you will find a well-stocked selection of high-quality low-pressure fittings for the kitchen. Low-pressure kitchen faucets are also used in apartment buildings when the water supply is solved separately for each apartment. Low-pressure kitchen faucets are also often equipped with pull-out showerheads with an adjustable spray.

How do low pressure kitchen faucets work?
A boiler should be available for a low pressure kitchen faucet. Here, warm water is stored decentrally for each apartment. Boilers, also known as hot water tanks, used to be significantly larger than they are today. While they used to be installed above the kitchen sink, today they are usually placed under the sink.

From a purely visual perspective, kitchen faucets with low pressure do not differ from those with high pressure. Differences can be found in the structure and functional principle. Three connection hoses connect the fitting with the water - one is responsible for the cold water, the other two for the hot water from the boiler. If you now open the hot water lever, cold water flows into the under-counter boiler. There it pushes the hot water out of the storage tank and it flows into the sink via a cartridge. The final temperature is regulated in the cartridge with cold water. A low-pressure faucet in your kitchen reduces the water pressure flowing into the boiler. Otherwise the boiler would not be able to withstand the pressure.
